Kansas City Strip Roast ?'s

BobBrisket · Dec 17, 2013

So last year, the little store in the Hood was offering these around January:

This week they are advertising Kansas City Strip Roasts for $4.99lb. Not as great a deal, but if the roast is a bit smaller, I'd buy one for grins and giggles. My question is, are KC Strip steaks in the same realm as the NY Strip?
Could I let's say, leave em in the cryo in the fridge for a while and let em age? What would be the benefit?

Bob

What ya'll sez?

It would be like wet aging a brisket. You might get some benefit from the aging, but I think it needs to be like for 30 days.

My understanding is that a KC Strip is bone in, NY is no bone. So, yes, it would benefit from aging, either way.

I think KC and NY strips are the exact same thing. If I'm wrong somebody please correct me.

I was thinking the same thing. The pics I saw of a KC Strip looked a lot like a NY Strip, but I'm no expert.

The store flyer is indicating that the price is only good on 3lb + roasts, so I'm thinking these are probably not as big as the NY roasts. I'll probably take a trip over there tomorrow.

You need to know the kill date or pack date (usually 2-3 days after being killed) before wet aging, otherwise you will be farting up wind. :becky:

It is. My limited research on the subject is the name change came when that cut was brought to steakhouses in NY. They didn't feel that KC in the name would be a good seller, therefore the old switcharoo.

These are the same....I have a little fun with it...when I see a NYS on the menu I always ask the server " I see you have a NYS....I prefer KCS...do you have a KCS?" They always say no. I act disturbed and order something else.

That sounds like something I would say :-D

Bob... Assuming the roasts look good I'd buy as many as I could fit into the freezer and cut most of them into steaks, vac-u-suck and freeze. Around here choice strip steaks are at least $8/lb unless on sale. If you can get the pack date from the case then you can play with wet or even dry aging with one or two.

if you have a vacuum sealer you can pick up some Umai Dry Aging bags and dry age them in your fridge for a few weeks. I've dry aged a whole prime rib and whole NY strip roasts.

Stopped by after work. Not what I was hoping for. Small 3lb roasts in the $18 range. I'll wait or just spend the dime on a rib roast instead. They extended the .99 sale on the double pack cryo pork butts. Gonna pick up one more of those. On the plus side, our neighbor dropped off a nice little butt portion ham! I'll smoke that puppy up this weekend!
