Short Loin

The area below the backbone is home to some of the most tender and popular cuts of beef, such as the Tenderloin, Strip Steak, T-Bone and Porterhouse Steaks. Loin cuts are great prepared on the grill or under a broiler.
Butcher's Note

The further it is from horn or hoof, the more tender the cut. That's why Loin cuts, including Filet Mignon, from the center of the animal are so tender.
