Q: Is it just another name for a cut; I am starting to hear more and more of it these days.
A: Kansas City strip is the same as a New York strip is the same as a Delmonico. They all have different names just to state where they are from. Obviously, Kansas City strip are from Kansas City and the nearby areas. The strip is located in the short loin on the back end of a cow. This section is typically very tender, as this is where the cow has a lot of fat and does not use the muscle very often. It is right next to the filet mignon and if you ever order a Porterhouse cut..that is the strip and the filet together in one cut with the bone in the middle. If you have a T-Bone steak, it is a strip with the bone attached.
