More Info

Our South African A-Grade beef is sourced from reputable suppliers and imported chilled—never previously frozen—so it can be safely frozen at home if required.

Sirloin is cut from the loin area of the animal and is also commonly known as striploin or faux-filet.

A distinctive strip of fat runs along one edge of the steak, adding succulence during cooking. Sirloin is an excellent choice for the pan, grill or braai and works equally well served whole or sliced.

The outer fat strip can be left intact during cooking to protect the meat and add richness. It may be trimmed before serving if preferred.

Cooking Tips

• Pan-searing: Sear in a very hot pan until a caramelised crust develops. Reduce the heat if necessary to finish cooking.
• Grilling or braaiing: Cook over high heat to colour the outside, then move thicker steaks to gentler heat until they reach your preferred level of doneness.
• Seasoning: Salt and black pepper are usually sufficient, although sirloin also works well with garlic, herbs, chimichurri or a light marinade.
• Fat strip: Place the fat edge directly onto the pan or grill briefly to help it render and colour.
• Resting: Rest the steak before serving so that its juices can redistribute.
• Slicing: When serving the steak sliced, cut against the grain for a more tender eating experience.

Serve with chips, roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, salad, chimichurri or red wine jus.
