Best Answer

Because a king enjoyed it so much, he knighted it giving it the name Sir Loin which was then conjoined naming it sirloin all in one

_______

While the above is a popular belief, it is a myth. Sirloin is derived from an old French word for "above the loin". The original word was surloigne - meaning above the rump. You can see how it was altered into the world we know as sirloin.

The story of the King knighting the beef cut goes back centuries in England, but is just that, a cool myth.

What is the difference between sirloin and top sirloin?

The only difference is the location on the animal. On a cow for example, the top sirloin is a slightly higher cut on the beast than the bottom sirloin. The generic term "sirloin" is another sirloin cut that is just above the tenderloin. No one sirloin is better than the other, however, the top sirloin is slightly more tender, as it is located in an area where the muscle is not given any exposure and thus the meat is slightly more tender then, say, the shank (legs). Most people think "top" sirloin means its of better quality, but this is a myth. It all depends on how you cook the meat, and how tender you desire the meat to be. For the most tender cut from the sirloin section, choose the top sirloin. For the most tender cut on the whole animal, choose tenderloin (for obvious reasons.)
