BEEF LOIN BNLS TOP BUTT

The Beef Loin-Top Butt Bnls. is the trimmed portion of the bone-in top sirloin. It is produced by removal of the hip bone and vertebrae.

Overall fat cover is trimmed to an average of 1" and edges beveled to an average of 1/2". All bones are removed and removal of femur bone shall not leave a hole exceeding more than 1/2".
