Some tips in buying New York Steaks, buy high quality beef and look for great marbling. Marbling is the fat inside the meat are of the steak itself. On this cut it really matters, I recommend buying USDA prime or choice with this cut. Also watch out for what are called the Vein Steaks which come from one end of the Shortloin from which the New York Steaks are cut. There is a half moon shaped line of gristle that runs along the fat side of the steak. While there is nothing actually wrong with that, it will not be as tender. Butchers love to hide these. In our steakhouse restaurants I used to use these for other dishes brochettes where we could cut these up and trim that gristle out.
This easy New York Steak recipe is pictured above at the top of the page. A simple, quick and easy recipe that was featured by J. Lohr Vineyards and Wineries Wine Club Newsletter with their fantastic 40th Anniversary Red Wine.

2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
1 teaspoon chopped Italian parsley
½ cup firmly packed brown sugar
¼ cup ancho chile powder
½ cup espresso grind coffee (very fine grind)
2 tablespoons garlic powder

Sprinkle steaks with the spice rub and allow to marinate for at least an hour before cooking. Place nice grill marks on the steaks then either lower heat or move to indirect heat to avoid burring the spice rub. When done melt the butter in a sauté pan over medium low heat. Add the garlic and sauté until soft. Do not brown or it may become bitter. Add the parsley and salt and top the steaks with the butter at serving.
