Where it comes from

A large, lean cut from the hip section. The top sirloin butt (NAMP 184) is the main muscle group. Versatile — grilled as steaks, roasted whole, or cut into kabobs. Moderate tenderness with good beefy flavor. Not to be confused with sirloin cap (coulotte/picanha) which sits on top of it. It is part of the sirloin primal (Upper hip, above the sirloin cap (coulotte) and behind the short loin).

In menus and butcher shops it is often discussed next to Sirloin Cap, and Tri Tip.
