Sainsbury's Thin Cut Sirloin Steak
What it is
This is a cut of beef sirloin that has been sliced thinly. Sirloin is known for its good balance of tenderness and flavor. The thin cut means it cooks very quickly, making it suitable for fast meals. It comes from the upper middle part of the cow, behind the ribs and in front of the rump.
How people cook with it
Thin cut sirloin is versatile and can be prepared in many ways. Its quick cooking time makes it ideal for weeknight dinners.
- Quick pan-searing
- Grilling for a smoky flavor
- Stir-fries with vegetables
- Beef sandwiches
To cook, heat a pan or grill to medium-high heat. Add a little oil or butter. Place the thin sirloin steaks in the hot pan or on the grill. Cook for only one to two minutes per side, depending on how well-done you prefer your steak. Overcooking will make it tough. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing against the grain.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to thicker cuts of sirloin, thin cut sirloin cooks much faster. This makes it less prone to becoming overcooked and tough. It is also easier to incorporate into dishes where the meat needs to cook quickly, like stir-fries.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a quick and flavorful beef option for meals.
How to keep the rest
Refrigerate the steak immediately after purchase. Keep it in its original packaging or transfer it to a clean container. It is best to cook it within one to two days of buying. If you cannot use it within that time, you can freeze it for longer storage.
