Meat' is a vague term and can be used to refer to many parts of an animal, including internal organs and skin. For the most part, the meat we eat consists of muscle tissue taken from farm animals, whether it's a sirloin steak, which is cut from the rear of a cow, or a pork chop, taken from flesh near the spine of a pig.

For me, 30 days, it's already pretty good for ribeye or sirloin on the bone. I like my meat grass-fed and juicy. The French never age their meat more than two or three weeks.

Understand, when you eat meat, that something did die. You have an obligation to value it - not just the sirloin but also all those wonderful tough little bits.

American Author

Sirloin is commonly used in cooking and restaurant menus to describe a high-quality beef cut.

Culinary Term

While often associated with beef, sirloin cuts can come from other animals like pork.

Not Always Beef

Sirloin refers to a specific area on the animal, so it's not interchangeable with other cuts.
