Spotlight on Top Sirloin

The beauty of being a steak lover is that there are so many cuts to love. And all for different reasons.

Let’s chat, ladies and gents, about all there is to love about the one and only Top Sirloin.

Top Sirloin is definitely in my Top 3 because it’s a versatile cut that’s lean and firm.

It’s cut from the center of the sirloin (check out that fancy graphic above) and is muy delicioso as a sandwich steak.

Top Sirloin steaks are also great for grilling. They hold up really well on the grill and come out so flavorful.

Okay, my mouth is watering now.

What’s your favorite cut of steak? Where does the Top Sirloin rank for you?

Football Steak!

Have you seen this genius breakdown from Sports Illustrated? If you love football and you love beef – this will hit your sweet spot!

This is just the cover graphic, but inside the mag is a four-page spread with a thorough description of each of the cuts (conferences) and “Menu Specials” like Florida at Texas A&M in their SEC debuts. Waiter, I’ll take one of those!

This is a clever way to play off the beef-lovin’ fun of college football. It sure caught my eye!

Check it out in this week’s issue of Sports Illustrated. You’ve got to be a subscriber to view it online, so it’s worth picking up at the checkout counter next time you’re at the market.

Eat up, football fans – someone’s about to get grilled!!!!
