Sirloin might be the most recognized name in steak. This working-class steak is popular due to its excellent value and universal appeal. Our SRF Black™ steaks are elevated compared to conventional sirloins and have the superior flavor and texture that comes from American Wagyu beef.
Our American Wagyu steaks are elevated compared to conventional sirloins and have superior flavor and texture. Each sirloin is lean with moderate beef flavor and a satisfying firm bite. We cut our sirloins from the large boneless section of the top sirloin, considered to be superior to the bottom sirloin. This classic steak works well with marinades and is the perfect candidate for a midweek steak night.
The USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) separates domestic beef into eight grades, based on intramuscular fat or marbling, and other qualities like tenderness, juiciness, and flavor. The two highest grades are Prime and Choice. Prime is the top grade on the USDA scale and features an abundant amount of marbling.
Snake River Farms produces beef that measures above the USDA scores. To grade these higher levels of marbling and quality, we utilize the 12-point BMS (Beef Marbling Score or Beef Marbling Standard) from the Japanese Meat Grading Association (JMGA). SRF Black™ and SRF Gold™ both score above USDA Prime.
SRF Black™ is rated a BMS of 6 to 8 with significantly more marbling than USDA Prime-graded beef.
SRF Gold™ registers a BMS of 9 to 12 and contains the highest level of marbling we offer.
The sirloin, part of the loin primal, is located between the short loin and round at the top and back end of the animal. The sirloin contains top and bottom sections. Our sirloin filets are cut from the top sirloin butt, specifically the gluteous medius muscle. Fast fact: The name sirloin comes from the Middle English surloine, which was derived from the French word surlonge, meaning “above the loin.”

The SRF Black Label grades between a BMS 6 to 8, and the Gold Label is the highest marbled with a BMS score at 9+. Read about the difference.
