SteakA steak is a cut of meat sliced across muscle fibers, sometimes including a bone. It is normally grilled or fried, and can be diced or cooked in sauce. In some cases, like in the dish steak tartare, the meat is eaten raw.
Cut of beefDuring butchering, beef is first divided into primal cuts, pieces of meat initially separated from the carcass. Firstly it is split into left and right 'sides'. These sides then can be further halved into forequarters and hindquarters. These are basic sections from which steaks and other subdivisions are cut. Since the animal's legs and neck muscles do the most work, they are the toughest; the meat becomes more tender as distance from hoof and horn increases.
Delmonico steakDelmonico steak () is a name used for several cuts of beef. It was popularized by Delmonico's restaurant in New York City from the mid-19th century. Currently the steak of that name sold by Delmonico's is a thick-cut ribeye, although the restaurant had earlier sold a strip steak under that name. Different explanations have been proposed for the name, and various other cuts of steak have been called Delmonico.
Short loinThe short loin, in American butchery, is a primal cut of beef that comes from the back of the animal. It contains part of the spine and includes the top loin and the tenderloin. It yields several types of steak including porterhouse, strip steak (Kansas City Strip, New York Strip), and T-bone (a cut also containing partial meat from the tenderloin). The T-bone contains less of the tenderloin than does the porterhouse. The short loin is considered a tender cut.

Meat tendernessTenderness is a quality of meat gauging how easily it is chewed or cut. Tenderness is a desirable quality, as tender meat is softer, easier to chew, and generally more palatable than harder meat. Consequently, tender cuts of meat typically command higher prices. The tenderness depends on a number of factors including the meat grain, the amount of connective tissue, and the amount of fat.
