Filet or New York Strip?

[jakenzie32]

At home I love ribeye, but I haven't noticed a lot of ribeyes on Disney's menus. I do see there are a lot of filets and New York strips. What's the difference? Which one is closer to a ribeye?

NY strip is closer to a rib eye...I love a filet tho, nothing like it

Filet is usually a little smaller, but the quality of the meat is superior. I usually go for the filet because I prefer quality over size

 

[HonnyDipp]

I choose the Filet everytime!!! Its my favorite!

 

[Tink51]

Same here. Filet is the best!

I always get the fillet, I just hopr they still have it at LeCelliar (sp) Can't go wrong with that cut of meat

 

[jakenzie32]

Thanks for the advice...looks like I will be ordering the filet.

Ribeye, NY Strip, and Tenderloin (Filet) are 3 of the best cuts of meat. NY Strip is closer to a Ribeye, however. It is cut from the short loin (area next to the rib area, where the ribeye is cut from,) is leaner than a ribeye, and tastes slightly different, as a result. The tenderloin is the most tender cut of beef, though it is a bit less flavorful than other cuts.

However, it seems like you've never had a NY Strip Steak or a Filet Mignon? If that's the case, you need to try both. Period. Enjoy!

A porterhouse or large Tbone is a filet AND a New York strip. Neither is similar to a ribeye.

The tenderloin is the most tender cut of beef, though it is a bit less flavorful than other cuts.

That's probably because it's also the lowest in fat Fat makes everything better

Marbled is one thing- fat quite another. The ribeye cut is mostly fat.

Then you'll love me!

Filet all the way!

Oh my gosh! This thread just reminded me of my favorite. Rose and Crown used to offer a Prime Rib. . . oh my - it was delicious!!!! I would give anything to get that back on their menu!!

NY Strip is definitely closer to ribeye. But personally I'd be hunting down all the filets.

True, and fat calories per ounce are lower in the filet. All I was saying (in jest) was that the filet may be less flavorful because it has less fat

 

[Uncleromulus]

Yes--but it isn't those veins and strings of pure fat and gristle that you see running through most rib-eyes.
In the filet, it's "dispersed"--hidden.

 

[Sol Rosenberg]

True, but fat calories per ounce are higher in the filet.

Not more than a ribeye. Tenderloin and NY strip are considered lean meats and are approx. 55 calories per ounce, whereas ribeye is a fat meat and has aprox. 75 calories per ounce.

Sorry, you're absolutely right, and I thought I corrected my post. Apparently I didn't What I had first said was that the filet was probably less flavorful because it had less fat, because, as we all know, fat tastes better The second time I posted should have said that the filet has less fat calories per ounce (and I'm now going to edit it to say what I meant to say). My preference, of course, is the most fattening ribeye (well, most fattening except for prime rib, which I don't like anyway), although I don't eat it any more

I used to always eat T-bones and absolutely adored the tenderloin side, so tender and flavorful...I would save it for last. Then I had a ribeye and thought it tasted so tender and flavorful like the tenderloin side of a T-bone so I made the switch. Now we grill ribeyes all the time and yes, I like the fat...it adds sooo much flavor. I think I will go to the meat market tomorrow and get one filet, one ribeye, and one strip and do a taste test with a nice bottle of merlot. Nummy. I'll let you now the results of my very scientifc study.
