The Skinny on Lean Beef
Want to know the skinny on lean beef? Here's the latest from the folks at the Texas Beef Council.

Let's tackle the big question first: What's the story about beef and fat? We think you'll like the answer, especially if you're up to speed on the role of fat in your diet. According to the American Dietetic Association (ADA), the goal isn't to eliminate fat entirely. It's an essential nutrient, needed for energy and the transport of vitamins. The important thing is not to overdo it.

Once for ounce, beef can be as lean as chicken if you choose the right cut and cooking methods.

Check the numbers and then head to your local H-E-B to make these lean recipes for your next meal:

Southern Italian Beef Steak & Pasta for Two
Asian Beef & Broccoli with Noodles
Easy Beef Stoganoff
Make-It-Easy Beef Pot Pie
Hungarian Beef Round Steak & Spaetzle
Easy Beef Steak Diane
Orange-Pepper Beef Steaks

You can control how lean the beef you eat is by taking a few simple steps:
  • Look for cuts described as "loin" or "round."
  • Buy ground beef that's 90 percent lean.
  • Cut fat by an additional 50 percent by trimming away any that's visible before cooking.
  • Use low-fat cooking methods like baking, broiling, roasting, braising or grilling.
  • One serving of beef is 3 ounces, the size of a deck of cards.
