Who Likes Sirloin Steak?

I love some aged sirloin, great value for a great steak, usually 7/lb. My local grocery (heb) has me spoiled on aged beef. Also love sirlion for kabobs.+++++++++++++++++++++++++++Austin, Texas. I'm the guy holding a beer.

After eating some relatively low grade sirloin at Chili's last night (for the record, I didn't order it, it was someone else's leftover that got passed over to me) I realize that I should qualify my previous statement - and in doing so, reinforce what some others have said.
I don't typically care for bottom sirloin but good, thick, high grade top sirloin has always been one of my favorite steaks. As an example, while they occasionally miss the mark, the Outback Special at Outback Steakhouse has always been a good piece of meat for the money. It was $7.99 for the full meal when I used to go their first and only restaurant in Tampa and I still like it better than most higher priced cuts at more expensive restaurants. At this point, their prices have gone up and I can get my own meat from Costco and cook a better steak myself but this is just an example.
However, a bad sirloin is not nearly as good as a bad tenderloin or ribeye or NY strip... so, as others have said, meat selection is probably more important when choosing sirloin than it is for more expensive cuts.
I had never really thought about sirloin this thoroughly - and it had dropped out of my rotation - but because of this forum I'll probably get some soon. Thanks to all.

Foghorn is right. The other day I got a sirloin steak from whole foods that was grass fed. Was pretty expensive. Did it on the egg like I always do, it was hard, chewy and horrible.
Back to Costco for meat. Never had a problem with Costco choice or prime.______________________________________________

The "Outback Special" used to be my go to in college. It was 9.99 for a 12 oz steak, 2 sides and a salad. I might try to recreate it on the egg. I agree with the rest of your post as well - the only time I can appreciate a steak at a restaurant is at high-end places on special occasions. -

During the week, the wife can pick up chicken, hamburger, fish or even sirloins even we are going to cook it with a marinade.

Sirloin is the best for souvlaki and other "meat on a stick" recipes. I sort the steaks into those that will be grilled stand alone, those that will be cubed and those that will be thin sliced for stir fry.Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

Well - you could have at least provided the real origin of the name, @Little_Steven, sirloin originates from the French surlonge, or above the loin, where the cut comes from.Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

So go figure my brother in law called to come over for lunch since he won some steaks from work. Shows up with 10 pounds of sirloin from publix. Did the t-rex method today and it was a nice tasty cut of meat. I'll definitely pick up those primes now.Dunedin, FL
