Now, a new study of the best steakhouses in the country has shined the spotlight on one New York establishment.

The state has an interesting history when it comes to beef, considering it is the namesake of one of the most popular steaks in the country: New York Strip.

The reason why the name came to be is because strip loin steak was the most commonly served cuts of meat in New York City, according to Chop House Steaks.

Taste of Home probably did not take that into consideration when naming the country's best steakhouses. However, it did recommend Peter Luger in Brooklyn as a top American steakhouse.

Considering it has a Michelin star, you know this place doesn't mess around with its menu.

This historic establishment has been whipping up legendary meals for almost 140 years and knows it already mastered perfection.

Said the report:

Peter Luger has kept things simple since 1887: great beef that’s seasoned simply with salt before being topped with a bit of clarified butter. In addition to great steak, you’ll enjoy the no-frills charm of the stucco walls and well-worn wooden tables

Considering it already has the title of the best steakhouse in New York, it's great to see it elevated among the national rankings.

The restaurant serves more than just beef - it also runs its own butcher shop to guarantee the freshest meats and best dry aging practices.

Those who might not be jonesing for a steak dinner can also feast on juicy lamb, plump salmon, and expertly cooked sides from creamed spinach to "special German fried potatoes."

They also offer a pretty decent dessert menu that has 10 different options, including its special "Holy Cow" hot fudge sundae.

This gallery helps us celebrate this food week by listing a sampler of great seafood places in Upstate New York that serves my favorite...a lobster roll.
