What Is a Striploin?

The striploin is cut from the loin section of the animal.

Because this muscle performs relatively little work, it remains exceptionally tender while still retaining enough structure to develop a rich and pronounced beef flavor.

For this reason, striploin is considered one of the world's most popular premium steak cuts.

What Is Stony River Beef?

Stony River is one of New Zealand's most respected premium beef programs.

The cattle are raised in an exceptional natural environment with vast green pastures, pure air, and abundant rainfall.

These ideal conditions create beef renowned for its consistency, purity, and authentic character.

New Zealand beef is internationally recognized for its quality and natural production methods.
