Was in Cash and Carry yesterday and seen it. First I have seen it...what can it be used for? I know what the sign says but...

How does one slice and dice it?

    It's nothing more than sirloin tip. It goes by many names, "peeled" being one of them. It is extremley lean meat so keep that in mind when deciding how to cook it. To me, it's best used in something with some type of sauce or gravy (stir fry, fajitas) due to its leanness. Or cook it extremely rare and slice thin.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    Im more than sure that you were asking in regards to grilling/smoking it. But just for info, they make a killer roast when pressure cooked down with some beef stock and veggies. Just thought I would share.

    Brother @SGH if you are using lean meats for fajitas you are missing out!  Heavily marbeled, thinly sliced and high heat is the best for fajitas.

    I just did one this weekend.  Very Lean.  I smoked mine at 300 until 128 and pulled.  Sliced as thin as possible for sandwiches.  I thought about turning them into steaks.  You can't really complain about the price per pound.

    Brother Ozzie, I agree that heavily marbled is best. To me, it's the best across the aboard. However I was just offering a suggestion as to what could be done with it and get good results.  Me personally, I always go with fattier meat. Even for ground beef.
