Pasture Raised Sirloin Steak

PASTURE RAISED SIRLOIN STEAK

Tender. Full of Character. A Steakhouse Favourite.

Sirloin occupies a wonderful middle ground in the steak family. It offers excellent tenderness while retaining the deeper beef flavour that can sometimes be sacrificed in exceptionally lean cuts.

Its characteristic outer fat helps protect the meat during cooking and contributes flavour as it renders over a hot braai or in a heavy pan.

For customers who find Fillet wonderfully tender but want a little more beef character, Sirloin is an excellent next choice.

At Gourmet Butcher, we select pasture-raised beef according to the same principle that guides everything we sell: if we wouldn't serve it to our own family, we won't sell it to yours.

Simple Cooking Guide

Don't be too eager to trim away the fat before cooking. It is part of what makes Sirloin special.

Start with good heat and, where practical, hold the fat edge against the hot surface briefly to begin rendering it. Then cook the steak on both sides until it reaches your preferred doneness.

Rest before serving.

Ray's Notebook: We sometimes think fat is something that should be removed. With a good Sirloin, it is part of the cooking process. Render it properly and it rewards you with flavour.

Choosing the Right Cut

Choose Sirloin when you want a balance of tenderness and rich beef flavour; choose Rump when you prefer an even more robust beef taste and slightly firmer texture.
