Cook's Tip - -
Note: Beef Round (Sirloin) Tip Side Steaks are cut from the Beef Round
Tip, Cap Off (IMPS/NAMP 167A) by following the natural seams to separate
the tip side, tip center and tip bottom. The tip side is then cut across
the grain into steaks. Steaks cut 3/4 inch thick average 7 ounces. Steaks
cut 1 inch thick average 8 ounces.
