Short loin

Beef cuts
Type	cut of beef

The short loin, in American butchery, is a primal cut of beef that comes from the back of the animal.^[1] It contains part of the spine and includes the top loin and the tenderloin. It yields several types of steak including porterhouse, strip steak (Kansas City Strip, New York Strip), and T-bone (a cut also containing partial meat from the tenderloin). The T-bone contains less of the tenderloin than does the porterhouse.^[2] The short loin is considered a tender cut.^[3]

In Australian, British and South African butchery, this cut is the sirloin (sometimes as the striploin in South Africa).^{[citation needed]}
