I posted this in another thread, but then I recalled that I’d started this thread to ask about good cuts for the smaller roast sized bags. I bought a 13.99 pound choice Top Sirloin, and it is now aging. Here’s how you fit it in a roast sized bag … sort of.

The solution was to cut off a 3 lb chunk (2 lb 14 oz actually). That left about 11 pounds of Top Sirloin, which fit very snugly in the roast sized bag. But it was a close call even at that. I’d suggest nothing larger than 9 or 10 pounds for the smaller roast sized bag. But it also depends on the shape of the meat to some degree. You might fit 11 pounds if the cut were a little longer and smaller in cross section than a Top Sirloin.
It’s a nice chunk of meat. I’m going to age it for 28 days.
