How to Cut Top Sirloin Meat

In order to save money, you can purchase large sizes of meat and cut them yourself. You can do it with many different types of meat, such as tri-tip, ground round and top sirloin. Here is how you can cut up your own top sirloin.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Top sirloin
• baggies or seal-a-meal
• knife

1. 
   Top Sirloin on platter

   The top sirloin pictured here is 13 pounds. You can get the same amount or smaller or larger, it will all cut up the same. Take the meat out of the package and put it on a tray or cutting board. There will be leakage.

2. 
   Slicing fat off

   Start by removing the excess fat on the meat. Some spots it will be very thick and you don't need it. Slice it off a bit at a time and you don't have to remove it completely.

3. 
   Slicing Roast

   Now you are ready to cut your roast. Measure roughly 2 inches and cut down through the meat. This will leave a nice roast big enough for 3-4 people with little to no left-overs. If you have a larger family then add another inch.

4. 
   Putting into baggie

   Put your roast into a large baggie and remove as much air as you can before sealing the end or put it in a seal-a-meal baggie and seal it shut, the machine takes out the air for you.

5. 
   Slicing steaks

   When you have enough roasts you can start cutting for steaks. Continue to slice the same way, but make the cuts thinner, approximately 1/2 inch thick and then bag them up.

6. 
   Ready for the freezer

   Mark all your meat with the type and date and put in freezer. It can take an hour to do this process but once it is done and you realize the savings, you will start buying meat in bulk. This cut yielded 5 roasts and 3 steaks. You will see a significant savings over already prepackaged meat.
