Measuring beef sirloin

A steak shrinks on the grill as water and some fat leave. USDA ARS reports a broiled or grilled yield of 80 percent for top sirloin (range 69 to 87 percent, n = 20), so the cooked weight depends on how the steak was cooked. Trimmed fat is the second variable: the edge you cut off the plate was never eaten, but it was in the raw weight. The USDA figures are for choice top sirloin steak trimmed to an eighth of an inch of fat, with lean and fat together. A steak trimmed closer, or another grade, will differ.

If you eat the steak at a restaurant, estimate the cooked weight on the plate and say grilled. At home, weigh the steak after cooking and after trimming. Sirloin often arrives with potatoes or a salad, so add those as their own items.

Do sirloin calories include the fat?

Yes. The USDA record is lean and fat together, trimmed to an eighth of an inch of fat. If you trim more fat than that before cooking, weigh the steak after trimming.
