IMPS 2020 §412BIn simple termsThe boneless 8-rib center-cut pork loin, Item 412 with all bones and the tenderloin pulled. The dominant boneless chop and roast item at retail, also called the boneless center-cut loin. Main muscle: M. longissimus.
The strap is the ventral flap of meat and fat hanging off the belly side of the boneless loin: the iliocostalis muscle (along the rib line) plus the inner abdominal oblique, tapering from about 2 inches wide at the shoulder end to 0 at the sirloin end. Strap-on means it is still attached. Buyer trims the flap off before chopping or it diverts to grind. Trades discount to strap-off because the loin carries the extra flap weight that most buyers will trim anyway.

Sirloin removed anterior to the hip bone cartilage and must expose the M. gluteus medius.
