Beef, and red meat in general, have
a reputation for being high fat and unhealthy.
But what if we told you that there are 29 cuts of lean beef that provide
iron, protein, heart-healthy B vitamins, and great taste all for an average of
150 calories per serving?
A“lean cut” is a cut of meat that contains less than 10 grams of total fat,4.5
grams or less of saturated fat, and less than 95 milligrams of cholesterol per
serving. That’s only one more gram of
saturated fat than a skinless chicken breast, and beef contains much more zinc,
iron, and vitamin B12 than its poultry cut counterpart. Strip steak, filet mignon, t-bone, sirloins,
and strip steaks all qualify as lean cuts.
