Possibly the ultimate all-American staple item is ground sirloin.

It keeps rather well in the freezer, so you can buy more when it’s on sale and know that you’ll always have quick ground beef dinners available.

What is Ground Sirloin and Why Use it?

As the name suggests, ground sirloin is the sirloin cut of beef that is grounded or minced. Ground sirloin is used to cut fat from a recipe because it is much leaner than normal ground beef which is usually made up of ground chuck meat.

How much leaner? Anywhere from 15-25% less. Ground sirloin is a perfect replacement without losing any beef flavor.

Speaking of ground sirloin, we’ve compiled some of the greatest recipes. Let’s have a look at some of the best ground sirloin recipes!
