Рецепт No Need to Miss the Cut
Let's get the skinny on beef. Don’t be so quick to cross out red meat from your grocery list--just as long as you are selecting the healthier cuts. For instance, 3 ounces of lean sirloin steak has less saturated fat than 3 ounces of chicken with the skin. Learn something new everyday, huh? The USDA defines “lean beef” as having less than 10g of fat, 4.5g or less of saturated fat, and less than 95 milligrams of cholesterol per 3½-ounce serving of cooked beef. Half of the fat is saturated and half is heart-healthy monounsaturated. So- what does all these numbers mean and how are you gonna remember when you are standing at the meat counter? Bottom Line: Choose filet mignon, sirloin, strip steak, flank steak, ground round--anything that has '-loin' or 'round' or 'lean' in the name..you should be good :) If you can’t remember the names, pick steaks that are deep red with a small amount of marbling.. a fancy name for fat.
Although I don't cook a lot with beef- but I do find myself going over and over to repeat recipes, and this is one of them. There is something about the rich sauce, tender cooked meat, and flavor-packed vegetables that warms my belly and nourishes my soul. That was deep- yes, I'm talking about food- Stew.. or well, and kind of soup in general, for me. The best part about it is that you'll be rewarded with even better taste the next day, after flavors have had more time to marry. Next day soup is the best.
