Top Round is pretty good - I eat it constantly. Sirloin is already fairly lean.

Not part of a cow, but similar: I get buffalo (you may know it as bison). Nice and lean, really red. And cheap - at least where I live. Ground buffalo has less than half the fat of extra lean ground beef and it costs the same as regular ground beef.

I do top round london broil cut into appropriate portions (it typically comes in about 1.5lb hunk of meat)
skirt or flank steak is also lean. Other than that i'll do chicken, turkey (breasts and burgers or make own burgers out of breasts), shrimp and cold cuts when in a jam (turkey breast, maybe ham if i'm feeling frisky). |

I think you are mixing it up w something else...filet is SO lean and has such little fat marbled through it that they often wrap a piece of bacon around it for some fat to aid in cooking and flavor. I rarely eat filet because the flavor isn't as savory as say a ribeye, with the ribeye showing much marbling and the filet being virtually marble free.

The tenderloin is the leanest cut of beef, and that is where the filet mignon comes from. Way over priced and quite flavorless though. Sirloin would be your best bet for a fairly lean and reasonably priced cut of beef. Unless money isn't an issue then you could just marinate tenderloin to make it flavorful.

After a google search, its obvious that it depends on where its cut, but filet mignon can have a lot of fat in it. Plus, who knows if youre getting a lean one in a restaurant..

Bacon is often used in cooking the filet because of the low levels of fat found in the filet. Filets also have low levels of marbling, or internal fat.(Wiki, further down in the article.)
I am sure it can vary, but for the most part it is low fat. There is very little fat, or connective tissue in it because of where it is on the animal, basically hidden and a non-load bearing muscle part of the back. |
