short loin
Steak-yielding beef cut
Short loin is a cut of beef from the back of the animal, between the rib and sirloin sections.
It yields some of the most prized steaks—porterhouse, T-bone, and strip steak—known for tenderness because the muscles there do little work.
The butcher recommended the short loin for grilling.
