LongHorn New York Strip Steakhouse Signature Strip Steak
The LongHorn New York Strip is a 12 oz boneless strip steak cut from the short loin of the cow at LongHorn Steakhouse. This is the same primal section that produces the T-Bone and Porterhouse when portioned differently. The short loin sits between the rib and sirloin sections and is home to some of the most prized cuts in beef. What makes the New York Strip the classic steakhouse cut is its combination of moderate marbling, firm muscle texture, and bold, assertive beef flavor. It is not as rich and fatty as ribeye. It is not as tender as filet. But for diners who want a proper steak with real chew and real beef taste, it is exactly right.
Every LongHorn New York Strip is made from USDA Choice beef, fresh and never frozen, and fire-grilled to enhance its distinctive flavor by certified Grill Masters trained under LongHorn’s Legendary Grill program.
The Cut: Short Loin, Same Primal as T-Bone & Porterhouse
Here is something most steak menus never explain. The short loin primal produces three of America’s most famous steaks. The New York Strip, the T-Bone, and the Porterhouse, All from the exact same section of beef. The only difference is how the butcher cuts it: remove the bone and isolate the strip muscle and you get the New York Strip; leave the bone in with both muscles and you get a T-Bone or Porterhouse. Same primal, same USDA Choice beef at LongHorn Steakhouse, just a different cut.

Allergen & Ingredient Information
Before you order, here is what you need to know. LongHorn kitchens are not allergen free environments. Cross contact with common allergens is possible during normal kitchen operations.
Always inform your server and speak directly with the manager if the allergy is severe.
| Name of Item | Ingredients / Allergens |
|---|---|
| New York Strip* (steak only) | Beef (short loin) with LongHorn signature seasoning blend. May contain soy from seasoning or oil. |
| Salads |
Caesar Salad: dairy, eggs, fish (anchovy in dressing), gluten from croutons. Mixed Green Salad: allergens depend on toppings selected. |
| Premium Sides |
Steakhouse Mac & Cheese: dairy and wheat/gluten. Crispy Brussels Sprouts: soy and dairy. |
| Soups |
Shrimp & Lobster Chowder: shellfish and dairy. Loaded Potato Soup: dairy and wheat. French Onion Soup: dairy, wheat/gluten, and may contain traces of other allergens. |
New York Strip Gluten Sensitivity
The LongHorn New York Strip is listed as Gluten Sensitive on the official LongHorn Steakhouse menu meaning the steak itself contains no gluten based ingredients. This is NOT the same as certified gluten free. LongHorn kitchens handle gluten containing foods regularly and cross contact is possible. Guests with celiac disease or a serious gluten allergy must speak directly with the manager before ordering, do not rely on the Gluten Sensitive label alone. One more allergen worth noting: the steak may contain dairy from finishing butter applied during cooking. Simply request dry grill preparation from your server if you have a dairy sensitivity.
Allergens in Sides, Soups & Salads
The steak itself is clean, but the add ones are where it gets complicated. Caesar Salad contains dairy, eggs, fish (anchovy), and gluten from croutons. Steakhouse Mac & Cheese contains dairy and wheat. French Onion Soup contains gluten and dairy. Safest allergen conscious choices alongside the LongHorn New York Strip: Steamed Broccoli, Fresh Steamed Asparagus, and Mixed Greens Salad with a dairy free vinaigrette. Always confirm preparation details with your server.
Cooking Temperatures for LongHorn New York Strip
LongHorn Steakhouse gives guests complete control over doneness for the New York Strip. This matters more than most diners realize. The strip steak has a firmer muscle structure than ribeye and moderate marbling. Get the doneness right and you have one of the best steaks on the menu. Get it wrong and the meat tightens up and dries out.
| Doneness | Internal Temp | What It Looks Like | Best for NY Strip? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rare | 120–125°F | Cool, bright red center | Not recommended |
| Medium Rare | 130–135°F | Warm red center, firm and juicy | ⭐ Best Choice |
| Medium | 140–145°F | Warm pink center, full seared crust | ⭐ Great Choice |
| Medium Well | 150–155°F | Slight pink, noticeably firmer | Acceptable |
| Well Done | 160°F+ | No pink, can become tough and dry | Not recommended |
Temperature Chart: Rare to Well Done
The table above tells the full story. For the New York Strip Medium Rare at 130 to 135 degrees Fahrenheit is where this steak performs at its best. The strip muscle is firm by nature. At medium rare, the interior is warm and juicy, the marbling has partially melted, and the fire grill has created a proper seared, slightly charred exterior. Cook it past medium and the firm strip muscle loses moisture quickly. What was juicy and satisfying becomes noticeably tougher. Most steak professionals and longtime LongHorn regulars, medium rare is the sweet spot for strip steak.
Why Medium Rare Is Best for Strip Steak?
The New York Strip comes from the short loin. A muscle that does moderate work, giving it more structure than a filet but more tenderness than a sirloin. At Medium Rare, the intramuscular fat begins to render and baste the steak from inside, the muscle fibers loosen just enough for a juicy bite, and the Maillard reaction from the LongHorn fire grill caramelizes the outside into a golden, slightly charred crust. That contrast between crust and interior is what makes a strip steak worth ordering. Go well done and the fat renders out completely, the fibers tighten, the moisture disappears. Same steak, completely different experience.
