Apparently, In a couple of weeks or so, A contact of my Son in law , will be offering Sirloin joints at an advantageous price.
Now , while I am happy at spotting a decent Sirloin steak, my experience of sirloin joints in minimal.
So, firstly, what should a be paying (roughly) per kilo of said sirloin joint, and secondly , what should I be looking out for, to perhaps help judge quality?
I'm told the meat will have been hung for 2 to three weeks, Thats all the info I have at present concerning provenance.
TIA

Look at it like you would a steak. Decent fat cap with some inner marbling, a deep red to brown colour and some give.
I got hold of a full one last week and trimmed it in to 8 thick steaks and a 6 inch thick joint which I will roast to a medium rare at fairly high direct temp.
We paid £20 for the full one but only because the seller didn't have a clue.
I'd say £15/kilo ish would be acceptable.

Just as an update, I picked up 2 small joints from him a few days back, both were just under a kilo, and worked out at a smidgin under £17 a kilo, came from a local herd. I'd have had more, (they look superb) but he was very restricted on what he could get.
Seems from what was said, I got a pretty good price.
