Ball Tip
Alt Names: SIRLOIN ROAST, PETITE SIRLOIN STEAK, LOIN BALL TIP STEAK
French: BAS DE SURLONGE
Spanish: CENTRO DE FALDA

Ball tip is a boneless cut from the top of the hip bone. It’s very lean and less tender than higher quality steaks. However, with some culinary finesse, such as tenderizing via marinade, or slow-cooking, this cut can deliver satisfying entrées and great value. Consider rubs, marinades and sauces (including BBQ sauces) as tenderizing tactics.
