About Our Sirloin Steak
If fillet is the tender one, sirloin is the tasty one. Cut from the back of the animal behind the ribs, sirloin carries a firmer grain and a strip of fat along one edge that renders down and bastes the steak while it cooks. The result is a steak with real beef flavour and enough bite to feel like you are eating something.
We cut sirloin to whatever thickness you ask for. A 2cm steak suits a quick weeknight fry; 3cm and up gives you room to build a proper crust while keeping the middle pink. Leave the fat cap on when you cook it, score it lightly so it does not curl, and render it down in the pan before you lay the steak flat.
Sirloin is the cut most of our customers order for a Sunday steak or for feeding a table of people who all want something different done to their meat. It handles medium-rare through to medium-well far better than fillet does. For nyama choma over charcoal, see our nyama choma cuts.
How to Cook Sirloin Steak
- Score the fat cap every 2cm so the steak stays flat in the pan.
- Stand the steak on its fat edge first for a minute to render and create your cooking fat.
- Get a proper crust: dry surface, high heat, and do not move the steak for the first 2 minutes.
- Medium-rare on a 3cm steak is roughly 3-4 minutes a side plus a 5 minute rest.
- Slice across the grain in finger-width strips if you are serving it to share.
