The variety of lean beef cuts available is greater than ever, and if you eat a moderate amount, beef is a good choice. When shopping for beef, purchase cuts that can be easily trimmed rather than cuts with fat running through them. Good choices include loin, round and flank.
Lean cuts can benefit from being marinated before cooking.
Marinate with low-calorie salad dressing, lemon juice and herbs, or a store bought marinade. If you want to baste the meat while cooking, be sure to use fresh marinade. Don't forget portions. To keep your eating plan healthful, shoot for 5 to 7 ounces, cooked weight of meat, fish and poultry, as a daily goal. So, fire up the grill, marinate the beef and enjoy flavor, nutrition and variety with beef.
