Sirloin steak FAQ

Is sirloin steak high in cholesterol?

Yes, sirloin steak is high in cholesterol. A 3.5 ounce serving of raw sirloin steak contains around 74 milligrams of cholesterol, which contributes 25% to the recommended daily value (DV). The American Heart Association recommends that daily cholesterol levels should not exceed 300 milligrams for most adults, and 200 milligrams for those with heart conditions or high cholesterol levels. Sirloin steak should be consumed in moderation for those watching their dietary cholesterol levels.

Is sirloin steak kosher?

In order to determine if a sirloin steak is kosher, two primary factors need to be considered: the type of animal it comes from and the method of slaughter. To be kosher, the animal must be a cud-chewing mammal with split hooves, like a cow, and it must be slaughtered in a specific way that adheres to Jewish dietary laws. Therefore, a sirloin steak can be kosher, provided it comes from a cow that has been properly slaughtered under kosher conditions, and the steak includes no non-kosher additives. You should look for a certification of kosher labeling.

Is sirloin steak high in fat?

Yes, sirloin steak is high in fat. Although sirloin is considered a leaner cut of beef, 3.5 ounces of raw sirloin contains approximately 13 grams of total fat, which is about 20% of the recommended daily intake based on a 2,000 calorie diet. Of those fats, approximately 5 grams are saturated fats, taking up 25% of the American Heart Association’s recommendation of no more than 20 grams of saturated fats per day.
