The 29 cuts are featured in The Healthy Beef Cookbook and include many Americans’ traditional favorites – flank steak, tenderloin, 95 percent lean ground beef and T-bone steak – as well as newer cuts of beef, such as the Western Griller steak and Ranch steak. All 29 lean beef cuts have, on average, only one more gram of saturated fat than a skinless chicken breast per three-ounce serving.   “Today’s beef simply isn’t your father’s steak anymore. America’s beef producers have devoted significant resources to offer consumers a wider variety of leaner cuts that are delicious and easy to prepare,” says registered dietitian Mary K. Young, Executive Director of Nutrition, National Cattlemen’s Beef Association. “The beef Americans crave is good for them too. Lean beef is a complete recipe for better health: lean protein, essential vitamins and minerals and great taste.” Order Yours Today!
