Best cut of meat

[LeanBeast]

Looking for opinions on the best cut of meat nutritionally, not taste wise

If you're talking beef, it's pretty hard to beat eye of round steaks for protein:fat ratio.

In a 100g serving, you get 30g of protein and only 4g of fat.

i notice top sirloin is high in protein with relatively low fat also.. ill have to look for eye of round next time im in the grocery store

[Bouncer]

flank is my choice.

I see top sirloin listed and eye of round listed. I always get Top Round which is very lean. But I'm not sure if top round is the same thing as what you guys just said. :D

Bouncer what kind of $$$ per lb are you paying for that flank at Costco if you don't mind me askin?

[Gator_Mclusky]

Sirloins and London Broils. Great cuts at a decent price!!!

Flank is outstanding. Lower fat than filet, and great flavor.

will give you a definite answer when i go back to get some more in a week. dont have the package anymore. i cut up all my flank into 10oz portions and put them in ziplocks and freeze them.

Thats what I do with my top round. Havent tried flank. I pay $3.70 a pound or so for top round. Might try flank if I can get within 1 or 2 bucks of that.

i think flank is cheaper then top round, flank is a bit more chewy.

I'm glad someone asked this, because I have been meaning to. I have bought flank steak, but it seems fattier than London Broil. Also, flank steaks are more expensive. Bouncer also check how much those packages of chicken are...for me please.

the chicken is $2.79 per pound. still have to see what exactly the flank is per lb. London broil is a very lean cut of beef. flank shouldn't be more expensive the London broil though. you sure the place wasn't running some kind of sale or something that day?

the fat on flank pretty much depends on how good the butcher is. the fat would all be on top of the meat and that can all be trimmed off. you wont find much fat at all in the actual meat.

Went to Costco yesterday. London Broil was $3.24/lb and Flank was $3.31/lb. Not much of a difference at all. I'll be trying Flank next week.

IMO, flank is way less chewy than London Broil.

TIP #1: Once you take the meat off the fire, let the meat stand for 5 minutes. This will help maintain tenderness.

TIP #2: Slice the meat on an angle against the grain of the meat to maintain tenderness as well.:moon:
