Lean Red Meat

[eglassman88]

When dieting what are some lean red meats you eat? Looking for more options..been doing mostly london broil, thanks.

[Dont wanna be old]

Eye of round . . Just so dry and boring

[tbody66]

Buffalo, by far the best! No flavor lost at all if you cook it correctly.

You can do lots with Extra Lean Ground Beef

[Damienm05]

Extra lean ground beef, bison, venison, well trimmed flank steak have all factored into my cutting diets.

[gbrice75]

Echoing all the above - my favs are bison, 93/7 (or better) lean ground beef, and flank steak. I did london broil for a while and it's so damn boring! Flank is much more tender and WAY more flavorful when cooked correctly.

Top or bottom round steak.

Horse meat is supposedly pretty good to.. not available in America but you can find it pretty easily in Europe

It's about the worst choice for beef - it's the fattiest cut.

help me out im confused how is filet mignon the worst choice

[gbrice75]

Ok, I could have been jumping the gun when I said it was the WORST choice, but it's not considered a lean cut of beef.

[MBMETC]

i dunno

[LGM]

If the Filet is prepared as it often is, with some type of butter/garlic sauce, or wrapped in bacon, it's horrible. Otherwise its just a fancy cut of backstrap, which is usually the most tender cut and most tasty from the animal.

Having said that, I prefer Moose and Bison to any cut of cow. It's really noticeable to me the difference in taste, texture, and how I feel after.

[MACHINE5150]

fillet mignon is not fatty, it is just tender.. big difference.. prime rib is fatty

[gbrice75]

prime rib is fatty

Well, NOBODY can argue with this!

[Damienm05]

Those facts for filet mignon are wrong. It's not as bad as Ribeye but more than 1/2 the cals per 4 oz. are via fat.

Agreed. I spoke to soon saying it's the fattiest cut (I sometimes associate most flavorful with fattiest as they often go hand in hand) but it's DEFINITELY a fatty cut.
