New York strip, filet mignon and rib-eye are three different cuts of beef that are frequently used to make a juicy and delicious steak. Both the New York strip and the filet mignon are cut from the tenderloin portion of the cow, while the rib-eye is cut from the rib portion. Choose a low-fat, low-sodium marinade to keep your steak healthy, and consider grilling rather than pan-frying to reduce the amount of fat.
