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.)

What makes meat less tender?
Overcooking can make a tender cut of meat less tender. ---- Tenderness is influenced by the portion of the animal that it came from as well as the animal itself-- how it was raised and what it was fed. For example chuck or shoulder cuts will always be tougher than the tenderloin or rib cuts. Range fed beef will be tougher than beef that was raised in a feed lot. Slow moist cooking such as casseroles and stews will make tougher cuts tender -- and tough cuts can have excellent flavor. For fast hot cooking such as frying or high temperature roasting, set the meat aside to "rest" for 5-10 minutes after cooking and before cutting or serving. This will allow the juices to distribute evenly through the meat and allow the meat fibres to "relax", making the meat more tender.
What are the clues to meat tenderness?
There are lots of ways to tenderise your meat. If you are marinading your meat or making a caserole then citrus juices (lemon, lime, orange) and alcohol (Wine, spirits and beer or vinegar) will help to tenderise your meat (be weary of how much vinegar you use as it can destroy the flavour). Also, if you are making a caserole, the slower you cook the meat the more tender it will be at the end. Try using a slow cooker.
