Red Meat that Makes You Skinny?

Posted Mon, Oct 29, 2007, 1:39 pm PDT

Lamb chops or pork chops, bison burgers or veal breast, round roast or Porterhouse steak? Sure, you know meatfs high in cholesterol and saturated fat and that it's less healthy than fish and poultry, but what if you really, really need to tear into some red meat now and then?

Use this guide to find the slimmest, trimmest cuts and kinds. Now enjoy--not just the flavors, the health benefits: Most meat is rich in top-quality protein, iron, zinc, B12, and other nutrients that arenft easy to get elsewhere.


Whatfs the leanest meat of all?

We hope youfre ready to expand your dinner horizons because bison (aka buffalo) is the big winner. (Deer and elk are right on its hooves, er, heels.) Believe it or not, bison has slightly less fat and fewer calories (2 grams and 122 calories per 3-ounce serving) than skinless light meat chicken (3g and 144 cals). Plus, itfs a terrific source of protein (24g) and iron. The taste? Similar to beef, though slightly sweeter and richer. Try your own burger recipe or this grilled buffalo steak dish.

Bonus: With bison (wild game, too), you aren't exposed to the cancer-linked growth hormones and antibiotics administered to farm-raised cows.

Things that go gMooo!h

Beef and veal are skinniest when theyfre loin or round cuts, such as beef bottom sirloin (6g fat, 150 cals) and top round veal (3g, 128 cals). Avoid veal cutlets and breast meat.

If you prefer pork...

Choose leg cuts, such as ham, or loin, as in boneless sirloin pork chops or top loin chops (both have about 7g fat and 170 cals).

Lamb lovers

Try cuts from the shank half of the leg (if labels arenft clear, ask the butcher). Well-trimmed shank-half cuts have 5-6 grams fat and about 155 calories per serving.

Interesting although the difficulty for many, I would assume, is finding such "rare" lean red meats....deer, elk, even lamb are not commonly available at many supermarkets. Forget bison....you'd probably have to order it at a restaurant or off the internet!

I say eat more char-siu ramen...it's salty as hell and the pork melts in your mouth....see Daikokuya.

But the Bison would still be cheaper than Kobe beef, ne? :)

LOL...no arguments there...I will say I do like the rack of Australian lamb available at Costco....it's a Frenched bone-in rack of lamb that is shrinkwrapped in plastic...the quality of the lamb is very good...in fact I just cooked some a couple of days ago as I briefed here in this thread. It's good quality lamb at a very affordable price.


Bison, elk, deer are all very lean but I would suspect they are expensive...for ppl who want to eat an inexpensive yet versatile cut of beef...I say buy flank steak...it has very litte fat, if any. :victory:

Oh yeah... My brother roasted one last Easter... Really good... And I'm not even a lamb fan. :)

Yeah? Cool. They usually have three cuts...the lamb loin chops (look like mini t-bone steaks), the leg of lamb, and the rack of lamb....i prefer the rack of lamb because it's not as thick so it's easier to control the degree of doneness. :)

I ate all of the above. Elk and deer are available in specialty stores or neat butcher shops. IIRC, for 4 persons, you'll spend $60~$100. Bison is sometimes even available in grocery stores. (Big ones anyway). Much cheaper. A little pricier than beef, but not by much.

I ate a bison burger. Not bad, but a little dry. Tasted like lean beef mixed with sawdust. So what people usually do is cook it with bacon to make it tastier. :beaten: The elk and deer, I ate those in a stew and as well as a steak. The meat is very dark (almost black) and have a weird wood taste. It didn't eat it in a fancy restaurant, but at someone's home. Probably didn't know how to cook it. I prefer a greasy whooper to elk and deer. :hehe:

Wow, for once, I can buy stuff in grocery stores you guys can't, but it's not something I like. :puppydog:

That's EXACTLY why my brother always buys the rack. :)

If you go to Alaska for the Iditarod, you can get Reindeer hot dogs while watching the start of the race. :)
