What is a lean Steak? What cut is it a Flank?

Cut or Bulk would be fine, just make sure the Cals/Macros fit into your plan.

Thanks Nigeepoo.
And i saw this on fitday so I am adding it to my diet, It has most of what I need in my diet and low fat. If i add this, my cut diet becomes balanced and proper.

I'll try and ask for help on how to cook this from foods teacher.

What is a lean steak? I have never heard of that cut?

from what it seems, steak cooked or broiled in some way that........i dont know lol. I have to look it up myself. Im in school right now so I have limited access to the internet or I'd be searching all over right now.

EDIT: I know how it looks when its cooked, cant describe it.

Depends on the cut.

I'm guessing that a lean steak is a steak with all the visible fat removed.

But what cut? A Tenderloin, Sirloin, Flank, Blade. Any cut of meat can have visable fat trimmed, but some meat have more marbling through the meat.

True. But it seems like most good steaks are easier to cook. I had a giant Top Sirloin last weekend. How is that anyway? As far as a cut, etc. It didn't matter because it was pretty much a cheat meal. I have a steak every Sunday, but was curious what the better cuts would be as for health wise.

The best way to cook a steak at home:

-heat a tefflon frying pan for five minutes
-throw salted & peppered steak on the surface for about 45 seconds per side; this sears the steak and forms a gentle crust
-take it off the frying pan
-let frying pan cool
-fry on medium flame for 3-4 minutes per side

**don't add any oil. you can cut off a piece of fat from the steak and let it melt and use that instead of oil

the better the cut the more fat it has in it.

ex porterhouse nice and fat
ex london broil very lean

I wanted to hear what kind of steak too.

I was at the store the other day buying Salmon and I passed by the beef section. God damn, they always look so tasty. Anyway, what were the best kinds of steaks to get? Ill ask you since jodi loves me so much its cooked into hatred.

heres a link that tells you the lean ones

Buying beef? A guide to choosing the leanest cuts - MayoClinic.com

Its beef steak.

-heat a tefflon frying pan for five minutes
-throw salted & peppered steak on the surface for about 45 seconds per side; this sears the steak and forms a gentle crust
-take it off the frying pan
-let frying pan cool
-fry on medium flame for 3-4 minutes per side

I'll give it a try and see what happens.

Top Sirlion is pretty cheap. I can get organic top sirlion for 5 bucks a pound. I got a huge one the other day for about 6.50 It didn't seem to have much fat, but the t-bones, for example, always seem to have tons of fat (and price) on them.

some good cuts

eye of round steak
top round steak
inside round steak
top sirloin steak
flank steak
Tenderloin (even though it has some more marbling) it just tastes too good.

heres a good link too Bodybuilding.com - All About Beef Index. just scroll up the page and click on what kind of cut. i usually eat 6oz of round steak aday.

Exellent. Mostly cuts I usually get.

Health wise how bad is it to have one serving of steak a day? I generally try to stick to the chicken and fish, but at some point may incorporate a cut of steak into my diet.

Yeah...why is steak not the best choice for a cut?

Steak is fine for a cut.

Personally I would eat about 3 servings of Red meat in a week.

Yeah I shoot for around that. I don't like to go overboard with the red meat but i do like to incorporate it into my weekly routine.

i eat 6oz of round steak everyday...

I see nothing wrong with red meat everyday.

Nope that is fine. I am just saying me personally have it 3 times a week.

Oh I know......I only eat it a few times a month myself. I'm more about the seafood
