As an aside, it's highly unlikely that avoiding salt will help with hypertension. 

Regardless, salt supposedly causes proteins to move to the surface of the meat, thereby causing better browning and crust development.  Leave the salt on longer, and proteins denature.

... the cut I prefer is top sirloin. It's not the most tender cut, but it usually has a lot of flavor.

I don't know about the top but the tip of bottom sirloin, AKA tri-tip, is full of flavor.  I like a tri-tip rubbed with garlic and slow roasted.  It's absolutely my favorite cut at a Churrascaria.     But it's not a steak.

My doctor told me that hypertension is harder to control when you eat a high-salt diet. I see a fair amount of research suggesting this is the case.

Given that we don't require a high-salt diet to be healthy, I see no reason to eat a lot of salt. Whether it's bad for us or not may be debatable, but it would be hard to argue that loads of salt is good for us.

Nah, I'd always be worried whether my tubes were wearing out or about having to roll tubes to get the best sound. That would raise my blood pressure.
