Where it comes from
Hind Shank: Cross-cut sections of the rear leg bone with surrounding meat. Extremely tough and collagen-rich — produces deeply flavored broth when braised. Classic osso buco cut. One of the most universal braising cuts worldwide. (shank, Rear leg, below the knee joint). Striploin: Leaner than ribeye; the classic strip steak muscle running along the short loin. (loin, longissimus dorsi (short loin)). Top Sirloin: A large, lean cut from the hip section. The top sirloin butt (NAMP 184) is the main muscle group. Versatile — grilled as steaks, roasted whole, or cut into kabobs. Moderate tenderness with good beefy flavor. Not to be confused with sirloin cap (coulotte/picanha) which sits on top of it. (sirloin, Upper hip, above the sirloin cap (coulotte) and behind the short loin).
In menus and butcher shops it is often discussed next to Fore Shank, and Oxtail.
