Short loin
Short loin
Short loin (/ʃɔːrt lɔɪn/) is a cut of beef that comes from the back of the cattle, behind the rib and ahead of the sirloin. The short loin produces the T-bone steak, Porterhouse steak, and the strip steak.
Etymology
The term "short loin" originates from the fact that this cut of meat is shorter than the full length of the loin, which extends from the shoulder to the hip. The word "loin" comes from the Old French "loigne" meaning 'side' or 'flank', which in turn is derived from the Latin "lumbus" meaning 'loin'.
