The newer FDC Foundation entry 2727574 (top sirloin steak, raw, 2025) is leaner (about 22.0 g protein, 5.7 g fat per 100 g) because it is trimmed closer. Price: BLS CPI average price series APU0000703613 (steak, sirloin, USDA Choice, boneless, per lb, U.S. city average), September 2026, the latest month published.
