Kansas City strip steak · Kansas City
A bone-in striploin steak cut traditionally with the side bone left on. The city's stockyards-era contribution to American steak culture, drier and beefier than its New York cousin.
The Kansas City strip steak was born at the Golden Ox steakhouse in the West Bottoms in 1949, when the Live Stock Exchange held the second-largest cattle market in the country. The cut keeps the bone for flavour but trims more closely than the porterhouse. Plaza III and other Plaza steakhouses standardised the cut through the 1960s; the name persists today on every metro steakhouse menu.
