These are on sale at my Wegman's and I need some leaner options for weekday dinners (I'm still flushed with prime ribeyes from Costco's sale). These caught my eye, but not sure exactly what this is. The nutritional information doesn't indicate its lean (16g fat for 4 oz raw), so it's not top sirloin. Just like to know what I am buying.

Looking at it I thought maybe a New York Strip, but it appears to be some kind of sirloin steak which appears pretty lean.

Cocktails: Alton Brown turned me onto boulevardiers. That has become my travel cocktail. At home it is usually spiced rum, vodka, or whisky mixed with ginger ale.
Planning on a DIY smoker. **Those plans got scrapped. Between the PBC and the SnS, a DIY smoker project has moved way down the list. Now I want to build an Argentinian style grill!

No restrictions with me (love meats, cheese, veggies, etc...) however a friend I often cook with has celiac so I avoid gluten in my cooking. (PS. Stone delicious is a gluten reduced beer that he highly recommends )
I'm guessing this one:
"Sirloin Strip Steak
This cut is sometimes referred to as a boneless sirloin strip or just strip steak. It’s taken from the short loin area of the sirloin, closer to the rear of the cow. It’s well-marbled and features a tender, juicy texture. Sirloin strip steak is excellent for grilling, pan-searing, or broiling. It’s known for its robust flavor and slightly firmer texture compared to top sirloin."
Referred to as being well marbled (although that would be less with choice grade) so that might account for the fat content on the nutrition.

To get leaner than sirloin you might have to go to chicken breasts.LOLLast edited by LA Pork Butt; February 4, 2026, 01:54 PM.

The ad and the tag on the package says: "Wegmans Choice Sirloin Steak, FAMILY PACK."
It looks pretty normal for a Sirloin (not Top Sirloin). Some marbling but a leaner cut for sure. These are flavorful with a quick char and finished medium rare (at least that's how I normally grill then). Hope that helps...

Large Big Green Egg, Weber Performer Deluxe, Weber Smokey Joe Silver, Fireboard Drive, 3 DigiQs, lots of Thermapens, and too much other stuff to mention.
I’ve had those. They’re chewy, but I wouldn’t say tough, like round steak is tough. The flavor is really meaty.
They’re pretty close to the baseball sirloins. the baseballs are easier to get right because they’re so thick; you can reverse sear them pretty easily. These just take a more practiced hand.

The baseball sirloin is what I'm accustomed to when I get sirloin steaks, typically from Costco, I was having trouble picturing how those and what I posted were the same thing. Last time I did top sirloins I did the SV and grill and they came out great.

I spent 10 minutes googling this because I got curious. I think that baseball steaks are the same muscle as regular sirloin steaks, but shaped and trimmed differently. They’re all variations of NAMP 1184/184. 1185/185 are bavettes, tri-tips, etc.
