Sirloin Chop

Sirloin chops come from the hip end of the loin—multiple muscles, more connective tissue, and a firmer chew than centre-cut. Flavour is good; tenderness needs help from brine, marinade, or moist finish. Often cheaper than rib or loin chops. Marinate with acid and oil, cook to just done, or braise gently if the chop is thick and multi-muscled. Slice across the dominant grain when serving. Best for weeknight skillet dinners and saucy preparations rather than bare high-end plating.
