Getting the Most Out of Sirloin Steak Cooking Methods
Sirloin refers to steak cut from the lower portion of beef ribs, continuing from the tenderloin, which is where we get prized steaks like filet mignon. Sirloin is a high quality cut, since the muscles are still doing a reasonable amount of work, giving it more flavor than other areas. The sirloin is divided into a number of different kinds of steak.
Out of these types, the top sirloin is the most prized. You are unlikely to get it unless you specifically look for it, since most sirloin steak is actually bottom sirloin. Less tender and much larger, this is more common and less expensive. The bottom sirloin is connected to the part of the animal called the sirloin tip roast. This is a good roast, but is often somewhat tough, so do not try to eat it as a steak.
Tri-tip steak is a strongly flavored part of the bottom sirloin, and is very lean, causing it to overcook if not paid proper attention. Sirloin pin bone steak is one that is cut from the front part of the sirloin. There is an oval pin bone inside that gives it its name. Sirloin flat bone steaks have flat back and hipbone pieces inside, as well.
Sirloin round bone steaks contain less bone than most other sirloin steaks, and are rather less fatty. Sirloin wedge bone steaks come from the rear of the sirloin, and contain a small wedge shaped bone. All these different types of sirloin steaks should be available at your local market.
Sirloin cuts tend to be lean, not as buttery and tender as higher end steaks, but with a deep rich flavor and lower price. They work well when prepared using dry heat, meaning that pan-frying, roasting, grilling, sautéing, broiling and similar methods are a good choice for cooking sirloin steak. Different parts of the sirloin will require different treatment, and sirloin steak cooking methods will depend on which part of the sirloin you are going to be cooking.
Make sure you buy only sirloin that is red and clear in color - that is the color that normally purplish beef becomes when air hits it. Make sure your sirloin is cold and tightly packaged, with a firm feeling to the meet and a reasonable sell by date. Make sure it is in the coldest part of the refrigerator for storage, and keep it only a few days. Fat can be trimmed before or after cooking.
Your steak will be finished to medium rare at an internal temperature of 145 degrees F, and will reach well done at 165. Turn the steak only with tongs, since a fork or knife will puncture the meat and cause loss of juices. Rest all steaks for five to ten minutes before you serve it.
You can broil steaks in a pan two to four inches from your heat source - it takes only eight to ten minutes. Grill steaks for six to eight minutes, lightly brushed with oil, or pan broil them on the stovetop for thirteen minutes to a quarter hour.

Where can I buy one Henckels Pro-S Steak knife?
I have a feeling that I may have lost one steak knife...might of accidentally thrown it in the trash! I had a total of Eight Steak Knives and really only want to buy one to replace. I can't find any place to sell me just one. Any websites or stores that you know of? Thank you in advance
I am looking for ONE steak knife, not a set of 4 or 8.
