New cut of steak?

ShadowNick

Ran across this today at work, not sure if its just BS marketing, but figured I'd share anyway.

Actually, going to the steak's site, it looks almost like a tri-trip cute in half lengthwise.

Gee, the shady meat industry AND Vegas coming up with a mystery cut of super premium beef that they can charge crazy prices for? Call me skeptical.

Man I love marketing.....reminds me: "you can get a good look at a T-bone by sticking your head up a cow's ass, but wouldn't you rather take the butcher's word for it?"

Nice Tommy Boy reset. Funny

New York Strip, Kansas City Strip, and now the Vegas Strip Steak! I am betting they are from the same basic area and look and taste about the same. I believe the KCS and NYS are the same cut but done in different parts of the United States.

How do you discover a new cut? Is it a new cow with an extra leg?  It's not like they throw out anything useful on carcass.

I think this was the best part:
Most interesting is the fact that this new cut of meat apparently counts as intellectual property, replete with its own licensing and a patent on the cut's fabrication. Mata and Gresh have yet to reveal where, exactly, the cut comes from but they've already lined up national suppliers so we should be getting a taste of Vegas at the local butcher shop soon.

So now you someone gets a cut of money to be able to say that their steak is a vegas strip cut.

I call shenanigans

Thats BS...

this quote says it all :

"Whenever we can take a muscle and turn it into a steak rather than
grinding it or selling it as a roast, we are adding value to the
carcass."

Thats nothing but increasing the price of a product thats been there forever and just gets a new box.

Make friends with your butcher and dont fall for something like this.

Cows can't have an extra leg. It is a dorsal fen.

We can go six legs if you want the extra vegas strip!!

I guess those picture prove the extra leg theory
