Sirloin

Pork sirloin spans the hip end of the loin—roasts, chops, and cutlets with mixed muscles. Flavour is pleasant; tenderness varies by exact muscle. Often a value cut next to centre loin. Roast tied for even shape, or slice into chops with marinade. Cubes suit kebabs. Use a thermometer and rest. Sauce generously when the piece is lean. Better for family dinners than rarefied tasting menus—honest pork flavour.
