top sirloin
Grillable bovine portion
Top sirloin is a cut of beef from the upper portion of the sirloin, near the hip.
It's leaner and less tender than bottom sirloin cuts but more flavorful than many premium steaks, making it a popular middle-ground choice: I'll take the top sirloin, medium rare.
Often sold as steaks or roasts, it benefits from marinades or careful cooking to avoid toughness.
