How to Cut Costco Meat! Top Sirloin!

This is my dad who has been a meatcutter for almost 40 years teaching me how to cut up a strip loin at home. He is describing all of the steps in great detail, so that I can do it myself the next time. Buying large pieces of meat like this from costco cuts the price almost in half... pardon the pun....

Thanks for all the comments!! The reason my dad is using the wrong knife is because he is at my house using my crappy knives that I have in my kitchen. We didn't plan on making this video for youtube so he didn't bring all of his real cutting knives with him. This video was made for me so that I can remember how to do it, and it turned out so well we decided to throw it up on youtube.

Glad it's helping normal people that are just trying to save some money cutting their own costco meat...

WAY cool. Thanks for posting this! We just bought one of these at Costco this weekend (U.S.D.A. Prime for $3.79/lb.??? Duh!) and was just getting ready to tackle cutting it up. I figured there would be some sort of guide online, but this video with your dad breaking down the exact same piece we just bought is EXACTLY what I need.

I now buy this size cuts at Costco (save 2$ a pound? oh yeah!) last time I bought 2, and had NO clue how to cut them, one roast was tender, another tough. Thank you SOOOOOOO much for posting this! I usuallly buy 2-3 of those big ones per month, and cut them in small roasts. I cannot wait to try this next month! WOOHOOO! ^_^

Thanks! Definitely a good video. The whole cuts available at Costco are a great deal (sirloin $3.29/lb now), and their beef is good quality (much better than typical supermarket - but you can get better at a dedicated butcher's shop or from a small producer).

I can understand why he used the knife he did - for the trimming a 6" boning knife would be best (looks like he picked the closest to that he could) and a 14" butcher's knife would have been good for the long steak slices.

A very informative video. The cut makes all the difference. This is a great way to save money on expensive cuts of meat for sure.

Anyone know how much a Sirloin butt costs?
