Sirloin steaks come from a section of beef found lower on the animal than New York Strips, usually just behind the rib-eye. The sirloin contains more connective tissue and fat, which gives it more flavor and an intense beefy taste. It is typically less expensive than the New York Strip. Additionally, sirloin steak has a chewier texture due to its greater amount of connective tissue. The fat content of sirloin steaks can vary widely depending on the cut, so it’s important to choose a good-quality steak for optimal flavor and tenderness.
