By HILARY WHEELAN REMLEY

Both Kansas City and New York strip steaks come from the short loin portion of the cow. However, Kansas City Strip steaks have one feature that New York strip steaks do not: bone.
Kansas City Strips are always served with the bone intact, which, along with their higher fat content, lends to the steak's rich, beefy flavor.
New York Strips, on the other hand, lack this bone, which can make it easier to serve and a bit more sophisticated. It has a firmer texture and is more lean.
Because of their similarities, New York and Kansas City Strip steaks work well using similar cooking methods. They are great when cooked on the grill or stovetop.
