psoas major or tenderloin
. Unlike the tenderloin, the longissimus is a sizable muscle, allowing it to be cut into larger portions.

In
sirloin

When still attached to the bone, and with a piece of the tenderloin also included, the strip steak becomes a
porterhouse steak
, the difference being that the porterhouse is cut from further rear and thus has a larger portion of tenderloin included. The strip steak may be sold with or without the bone. Strip steaks may be substituted for most recipes calling for T-bone and porterhouse steaks, and sometimes for fillet and rib eye steaks.
A bone-in strip steak with no tenderloin attached is sometimes referred to as a shell steak.[7]
