Beef Round (Sirloin) Tip Center Steaks are cut from the Beef Round Tip, Cap Off (IMPS/NAMP 167A) by following the natural seams to separate the tip side, tip center and tip bottom. The tip center is then cut across the grain into steaks. Steaks cut 3/4 inch thick average 6 ounces. Steaks cut 1 inch thick average 8 ounces. |  |  |
