Fat in Beef
No matter what cut of beef you choose for a recipe,
trimming the excess fat is the key to lowering the fat and calories. A cut
like rib eye steak that is not trimmed will have about 20 grams of fat per
serving. Trimming it of excess fat will reduce the fat by 10 grams and about
90 calories.
The best flavor in beef comes from the marbling in the
meat itself, not the fat that surrounds the cut of meat. Choose cuts that have
little excess fat and light marbling for maximum flavor and minimum calories.
