Things worth knowing

• Fattier cuts carry noticeably more energy. Ribeye eaten with its fat has about 289 kcal (1209 kJ) per 100 g, roughly 70 kcal more than top sirloin, mostly from its extra marbling.
• Figures are for cooked meat. A 1.2 lb (544 g) raw steak yields about 393 g cooked, or roughly 861 kcal (3601 kJ); an 8 oz (227 g) cooked steak has about 497 kcal (2080 kJ).
• 100 g of cooked top sirloin gives about 80% of the Daily Value for vitamin B12 and over half the DV for selenium, along with around 29 g of protein.
• Cut names differ by country: US top sirloin comes from the hip, while the cut called sirloin in the UK and Australia is closer to the American strip steak, so figures from other sources may not match exactly.
