Whole Sirloin Roast | A5 Sanuki Olive Japanese Wagyu
Learn about how we label beef and Beef Grading Standards
Our Japanese A5 Sirloin is delicious, it is cut form the top but into a large roast in the form of a log. It makes for a good roast and can be cut into steaks. In fact, this is where the baseball steak is cut from. The baseball cut is an excellent alternative steak to the tenderloin filet for economical banquet applications, as well as a unique standalone entrée.
A5 is known for its rich and buttery texture, but the sirloin is less marbled than the Ribeye, New York or Tenderloin. If you find any of those "too rich", but your still appreciate that umami-wagyu flavor... this may be perfect for you.
The average piece weights 3.25 lbs., it can vary slightly.

Quality grading is severely done.
