About this cut

What it is and how to use it

Even though it carries the sirloin name, the sirloin tip comes from the front of the round, near the sirloin. It is a lean, boneless roast with a firm texture and mild beef flavor. Because it has little fat, it can be tough if overcooked, so it is often roasted to medium and sliced thin or cooked slowly in liquid. It is a common choice for roast beef sandwiches.

Cook’s tipRoast at a moderate temperature to at least 145°F, rest, and slice very thin across the grain. Or braise until fork-tender.
