Short loin
Primal cut of beef
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The short loin, in American butchery, is a primal cut of beef that comes from the back of the animal.[1] It contains part of the spine and includes the top loin and the tenderloin. It yields several types of steak including porterhouse, strip steak (Kansas City Strip, New York Strip), and T-bone (a cut also containing partial meat from the tenderloin). The T-bone contains less of the tenderloin than does the porterhouse.[2] The short loin is considered a tender cut.[3]

In Australian, British and South African butchery, this cut is the sirloin (sometimes as the striploin in South Africa).[citation needed]
