Suggestions for beef loin top sirloin, cap off steaks?

Picked up a pack at Costco yesterday. They were out of ribeyes and strip steaks, and these were $7/pound.
Any ideas for the best way to cook them? I imagine they have a tendency to be tough.

So they are the cap with fat or not, I'm a bit confused what you got.

Cap’s off, so no fat.

So you have top sirloin steaks?

I guess. I’m just reading what’s on the Costco label.

Sounds like it's cross sections of sirloin cap with fat removed.
Really good piece of meat. Great for grilling or preparing like other steaks. Keep it under Medium for best results.

If they are thick, I would reverse sear them.
Do you have an instant read and/or probe thermometer?

Yep.
And I just cooked them. They were great. I seared on a cast iron skillet on a gas grill. Lowered heat and cooked until 140. Wish I had pulled at 135.
I was pleasantly surprised and this might be my go-to for steaks for a while. I was expecting tough, chewy “cheap” meat. Fat content was low, so not as much “umami” as a strip or ribeye.
But great for the price.

Did you notice if they were blade tenderized like a lot of costco steaks?

Not sure. I didn’t see anything about it on the label. They were tender though. Especially since I cooked them a little longer than I’d like.

I’ve been buying the sirloin top cap with fat (Picanha) at Costco. $6.99/lb. I usually cut each into 3 pieces and reverse sear. Very tasty. My go to affordable steak at the moment.

Costco used to label blade tenderized steaks, but I haven't seen that for a couple of years. Do they still do that?
I love top sirloin steaks. Not butter knife tender, usually, but tender enough, and they have good flavor, even though they are lean.
I have some to cook for tonight. At 7 bucks a pound, it is a bargain, because even flank steak is 10-12 bucks a pound these days... All the good cheap cuts of yesteryear aren't so cheap anymore...
