I did a site search for tenderloins and came up with several posts. There's a lot of people with the wrong information, but hey, if a guy wants to call his cuts of meat whatever he wants, so what. LOL!

Anyway, below are the 4 names I know for the backstraps:

1.) backstraps
2.) loins
3.) back loins
4.) NY strip

I am referring to the 2 strips of long meat "outside" the rib cage on both sides of the spine.

The other day I saw a guy referring to a backstrap as something else. Now I can't find that post. To me it struck me as something I use to call it.

I believe backstraps are the #1 term for these great cuts of meat. Now I won't be persuaded otherwise, but I call the two smaller tender cuts of meat just under the spine, inside the gut cavity, tenderloins.

Do you know of another name for backstraps?
