The Top Sirloin Steak

What is a Top Sirloin Steak?

The top sirloin steak is a cut of beef from the top sirloin subprimal cut. The sirloin subprimal is divided into several types of steak, with the top sirloin being the higher-end cut. The lower-end cut from the sirloin subprimal, known as the bottom sirloin, is typically labeled simply "sirloin steak" versus the coveted top sirloin. In general, meat from the sirloin subprimal has less marbling, making it a moderately lean cut with a firmer texture than a tenderloin. It's a very versatile cut with a robust beefy flavor that can be grilled, broiled, pan-fried, or roasted, and are often served with sauces such as mushroom sauce, béarnaise sauce, or peppercorn sauce.
