Kirkland Signature USDA Prime Beef Loin New York Steak is sourced from young, well-fed cattle and represents the highest grade awarded by the USDA. This premium cut comes from the short loin along the longissimus dorsi muscle and features abundant marbling throughout, resulting in exceptional tenderness, juiciness, and rich beef flavor. Prime beef represents only 2% of the American meat supply and is typically reserved for fine dining establishments and high-end steakhouses.

The New York strip is a classic steakhouse cut known for its perfect balance of tenderness and beefy flavor. The USDA Prime grade features noticeably more marbling than Choice grade, with long, clearly defined muscle fibers that create a more tender and luscious eating experience. Independent taste tests have rated Costco's Prime New York strip as far superior to the Choice version, noting it is the only cut worth the premium price upgrade.

This steak is sold per pound and is ideal for grilling to medium rare, where the abundant marbling renders into the meat to create maximum flavor and tenderness. Each cut is thick and substantial, perfect for special occasions or when you want restaurant-quality steak at home.
