Club steak is a cut from the short loin, similar to a New York strip but often with a bone. It's known for being flavorful and relatively tender. Think of it as the New York strip's slightly more rugged cousin 🍖. It’s usually a good balance between quality and price. Unlike some other steaks, it’s not excessively fatty, making it a good choice for those who prefer leaner cuts.
