The sirloin tip steak does not have a ridge of fat on it. Both cuts lend themselves well to a marinade and are a lovely, tender cut when cooked correctly. As always, don't overcook these steaks! The longer you cook them, the less tender they will be.

Are sirloin tips tough?

Sirloin Tip is less tender than Top Sirloin but is the most tender of the round cuts. Because it's low in fat, like a Round Steak, we suggest you marinate for 2-4 hours before cooking, never cook more than medium to avoid toughness, and don't pierce the surface while cooking.

What is sirloin tip steak good for?

Whether grilled or pan fried on a stove, it is so delicious and great for steak salad, tacos, fajitas, and more! Sirloin tip steak is one of my top picks for a lean and nutritious steak entrée. When prepared and cooked properly, it can be nearly as tender as some prime cuts at a fraction of the cost.
