A Look at The Healthiest Steak Cuts

Food

Beef steak is one of the most common and popular staples for meat lovers all around the world. With immense flavor and a balanced content of protein, fat, and calories, steak is a must-try. Since it is a popular food on a global level, different regions of the world produce different types of beef.

While there is a broad categorization among beef types, there is a further classification into the types of steak cuts. Different cuts have different tastes and varying nutritional content. Some of the common steak cuts include filet mignon, tomahawk, sirloin, ribeye, brisket, and many more.

In this article, we will explain which cut is the healthiest for you to consume regularly.

New York Strip

The New York strip cut is one of the most famous and a highly nutritional cut of steak. It is a pretty lean cut which means that the fat content in the steak is minimal. However, when it comes to marbling (the distribution of intramuscular fat), it has extensive marbling that looks high-grade.

Nutritional content (per 100 g)- 23 g protein, 6 g fat, 150 calories.

Bottom Round Steak

Round steak cut from the bottoms of a cow is yet another highly nutritional and delicious cut of steak. One of the best things about the bottom-round steak is that it is a big cut. This allows you to serve a good 4-5 ounces per serving per person. Besides being lean, this cut also has great marbling.

Nutritional content (per 100 g)- 27.2 g protein, 8 g fat, 190 calories.

Filet Mignon

Compared to other popular cuts of steak like tomahawk and ribeye, filet mignon is extremely lean and just a dollop of meat. It is one of the most expensive meat cuts since it is difficult to obtain and maintain. With nearly no marbling, it is a solid cut and is also very tender. The main reason for a filet mignon being a chef’s top choice is due to its buttery taste.

Nutritional content (per 100 g)- 30 g protein, 10 g fat, 218 calories.

Sirloin Steak

Sirloin is yet another delicious and affordable steak cut. With a balanced fat content, it tastes like magic when seared and grilled properly. With a proper amount of marbling, the nutritional content of this cut can vary depending on the variations.

Nutritional content (per 100 g)- 29 g protein, 11 g fat, 220 calories.
