Sirloin steaks have historically been the go-to for bold, beefy flavor at a great value. But when it came to tenderness, filet mignon usually won. There's an assumption that all sirloins are “too tough,” leading people to wonder, when it comes to top sirloin filet vs. filet mignon, “Is top sirloin a good steak?” As America’s Original Butcher since 1917, we wrote the book on steak – and we keep finding new ways to improve it for you. Did you know that approximately 71% of Americans eat beef at least once per week, and that steak accounts for 37% of beef eaten?1 If you’re a fellow steak lover, you probably know the three most important things when it comes to choosing the right steak: flavor, tenderness, and price. But what if we told you that you didn’t have to choose? What if there was a sirloin that was sourced from the right part of the cow, cut and trimmed with care, properly aged and preserved, and, when cooked to the right doneness level, could not only be tender, but as tender as the more expensive filet mignon at your local grocery store? That’s where Omaha Steaks comes in.Introducing Omaha Steaks USDA Certified Tender Top Sirloin Filets Lineup!Exclusive to Omaha Steaks, our ALL-NEW Top Sirloin Filets lineup features two impeccable and flavorful cuts – the ONLY top sirloins scientifically tested by a third party to earn the highly coveted distinction of USDA Certified Tender – that are as tender as a grocery store filet mignon but priced better.Why Did We Decide to Elevate This Everyday Steak for You?With the cost of beef rapidly rising and meal planning becoming increasingly vital, we understand it’s more important than ever to get the most out of your money.

Location, Location, Location.[et_pb_text admin_label"Assuming a steak labeled “sirloin” is just short for “top sirloin” is incredibly common – in fact, some rely on this assumption to overcharge you for low-quality steaks. In actuality, sirloin is a generalized term for beef that is sourced from any part of a cow's sirloin section, which includes the top sirloin sub-primal and the bottom sirloin sub-primal.” The top sirloin sub-primal is a more tender section of the sirloin that delivers a lean, protein-filled cut with a beefy flavor, and that’s where top sirloin steaks come from. The bottom sirloin is closest to the rear leg of a cow, where it is used constantly for motion and support, creating denser muscle fibers and connective tissue, which produces a tougher texture. Steak sourced from this section typically requires marination or slow cooking to increase its tenderness and improve its taste. Now you’re probably wondering where to buy top sirloin steak you can trust. While it is possible that the sirloin you’re purchasing at a grocery store came from the same sirloin sub-primal that we extra-age to create our tender and beefy Top Sirloin Filets, it could also be from the tougher bottom sirloin. That’s why people have trusted the quality and value of Omaha Steaks for well over a century. We label all of our steaks accurately, so you know exactly what you’re paying for – every single time – making us the very best option when it comes to top sirloin.

It comes down to four things we’re doing that no one else is: naturally extra-aging for at least 35 days, expertly cutting and trimming, flash-freezing at peak perfection, and submitting for shear force testing to measure tenderness. Naturally Extra-Aged 35+ Days[et_pb_text admin_label"When people hear the term “aging,” they typically associate it with something getting older, which can sound very unappetizing when it comes to food! Luckily, that’s not the case with Omaha Steaks aging method. Here, aging is a precisely controlled process that enhances the tenderness and flavor of beef, which is vital when it comes to a lean cut like our Top Sirloin Filets, and why we offer the only top sirloin that has earned the USDA Certified Tender designation. Once we begin our natural aging process, the beef’s enzymes start breaking down muscle fibers, which makes it more tender, and its proteins and fats develop deeper, richer flavors to create the bold and beefy classic steak experience you crave. As important as it is to extra-age beef, it’s just as important to know when to stop. Our research has shown that the “sweet spot” occurs around 35 days, which is when we stop aging, cut and trim the beef, and then flash-freeze it to pause the aging process and lock in the flavor until you’re ready to thaw and enjoy!

Hand-Cut and -Trimmed by Master Butchers[et_pb_text admin_label"Since 1917, Omaha Steaks has perfected the art of butchery and trained our master butchers in the family tradition to deliver over a century of combined experience behind every single cut. Omaha Steaks Top Sirloin Filets don’t look like your typical top sirloin because they’re not. They’re trimmed thicker and taller to produce a steakhouse-worthy presentation that could easily be mistaken for a filet mignon. We achieve this by removing the sirloin cap along its natural seam, which maintains a tall, lean, and uniform shape. Next, excess external fat and silver skin (tough and chewy connective tissue) are removed by hand for a clean bite and even cooking experience. Finally, we shape it precisely for consistency while focusing on height, rather than spread, and pre-portion it into exact specifications you can rely on to achieve perfectly even cooking results every time – and that attention to detail is something you just won’t find anywhere else!

The moment a steak is carved, it begins losing nutrients and minerals. Your local grocery store’s “fresh” steaks are decreasing in quality each moment they sit behind the butcher counter’s glass. Some stores or people will freeze their steak to prevent this loss, but standard freezing isn’t the same as flash-freezing. When the water in a steak freezes, it turns into either small or large ice crystals based on the freezing process. When using a slower standard freezing process, the water has time to expand into large crystals that pop through the beef and allow the juices to leak out and produce a dry steak. Omaha Steaks flash-freezing process happens nearly instantaneously, and presses “pause” on perfection. This technique doesn’t give the water enough time to expand into larger crystals, preventing loss of tasty juices and ensuring your Top Sirloin Filet remains as flavorful, fresh, and nutritious as the moment it was carved!

Shear-Force-Tested Certified Tender: The Only USDA Certified Tender Top Sirloin Available[et_pb_text admin_label"What does “USDA Certified Tender” mean? It means that our Top Sirloin Filet has been scientifically proven as exceptionally tender through a process called “shear force testing,” which measures resistance of the blade and the force required to shear (cut through) a steak at a controlled speed in one movement. In simple terms, less force greater tenderness. This shear force test provides an objective, consistent, and repeatable measurement that closely matches what you would experience when eating a steak, making it one of the most reliable ways to measure tenderness – and Omaha Steaks is the only one taking the time to do it. When measured against unaged grocery store filet mignon, our 35+-day aged Top Sirloin Filet scored just 0.38 kg above, which was an amount so insignificant that the tenderness is perceived to be equal. In simple terms, this test performed by the USDA confirmed that our Top Sirloin Filets are as tender as a grocery store filet mignon – but with more flavor and at a better price!

Myth: They’re cut by in-store butchers, not machinesFact: All Omaha Steaks Top Sirloin Filets are hand-cut tall and thick by a team of master butchers boasting over a century of combined experience. Myth: They’re more tenderFact: Omaha Steaks Top Sirloin Filets are extra-aged at least 35 days and scientifically shear-force tested by the USDA to be as tender as a grocery store filet mignon – there’s no way of knowing how long grocery stores age their steaks for. Myth: They’re less expensiveFact: At only $29.99 per pound, Omaha Steaks Top Sirloin Filets are actually 16% less expensive than the top 10 grocery stores’ $33.05-per-pound filet mignon! Myth: They’re all in one sealed package and are less wastefulFact: Omaha Steaks Top Sirloin Filets are cut to the exact same specifications to ensure a consistent cooking experience every time, with no wasteful leftovers or portion-control concerns, and they’re individually sealed so you can cook as many as you want (one or all) without discarding what you didn’t cook when it’s no longer safe to eat. Myth: They’re not frozen like Omaha SteaksFact: As a pioneer of meat delivery for over 100 years, we know how to amplify convenience without sacrificing quality. All our steaks – including our Top Sirloin Filets – are flash-frozen, meaning they’re quickly frozen at their peak level of taste and tenderness, not slowly over time, like in a home freezer, so while “fresh” steaks get older every minute after they’re cut, Omaha Steaks remain perfect until you’re ready to enjoy them.What’s the Best Way to Prepare a Top Sirloin Filet?[et_pb_text admin_label"To achieve a juicy and tender Top Sirloin Filet, cook to the ideal doneness of medium-rare, which is 130 degrees Fahrenheit.
