What is the best steak for cutting?

[lexmark4u]

I had a 12 oz. New York Strip Steak last night and I just wanted to know if I made a good choice.

Anyway, what are the leanest cuts for steak? Any nutritional info like fat grams/ protein grams would be appreciated.

Half of a steak is best for cutting.

Rump steak

[First Prime]

Round steak is.

It must be cooked for 1 1/2 to 2 hours in some liquid to get tender.

Top Sirloin steak,hands down...

[Kapisnaki]

Top sirloin is a very lean steak

You are cool.

I use round steak. It is kind of tough so I cut it into very thin strips and fry it with some frozen veggies. Just before it's done I add a little olive oil and pepper. Takes less then ten minutes from start to finish.

Why even make a comment?

I've heard top sirloin and round steak is the best. Personally I think top sirloin is better than the round.

If you're cutting and keeping fats moderate, a steak that isn't ridiculously lean is probably a pretty decent choice as long as it fits your macros. New York Strip is fantastic if you can afford to eat it on a regular basis, in which case you suck...

Yeah, I may be able to eat it once to twice a month or so. I wish I was rich.

Top Blade is pretty lean (180 calories per 3 oz cooked). Sirloin and Eye Round are pretty lean as well.

Because you still need fat in your diet cutting or not . fat don't make you fat for one ..
and for two - the fatter the cut the cheaper the price and USUALLY 75% of the fat is along the edges .. just cut the **** off

Rump roast and a crock pot and a knife FTW jeesh

deer steak ftw!

I go with eye of round and make fajitas - slice them up cross-sectional in thin strips, throw them in a pan with seasonings and onions, ends up delicious - I've tried eating them BBQ/Broiled but they are too tough. Sams sells a 6-pack of them which ends up being about $3/lb

Rib Eye. The fattier the better. Personal favorite, although it's annoying to cook however is Prime Rib.

Round steak is.

Agreed. Cook on George Forman (in college), and it is also cheap. Plus they are each 6oz.

I'm lucky, they often go on sale for $5-6/lb - or even less in the 'managers special' at my local grocery store.

Actually, usually the darker ones, that they haven't packaged 'properly' to keep them red are the ones they put in the specials, and far better than the crud they have in the 'deli' for $12-14/lb.

Where I live the NY strip is definitely the best quality vs price steak I can get.

And if you trim all the visible fat, they are not that fatty either. Not like a ribeye, porterhouse or T-bone (my other favorite).

fillet/tenderloin is extremely lean I believe

Because you still need fat in your diet cutting or not . fat don't make you fat for one ..

You need fat when you are cutting especially if you are doing a high fat diet like the Cut Diet or CHA but you also want to take in healthy fats - you don't need lard from a cow fat haha

two - the fatter the cut the cheaper the price and USUALLY 75% of the fat is along the edges .. just cut the **** off Rump roast and a crock pot and a knife FTW jeesh

also the fatter the cut the more cheaper? I think not. Most lean cuts are cheaper - such as top round /round steaks. they are more dense muscle and have less fat. You do know that flavor from say a NY strip come from the marbled fat, right? A high level of marbling, or fat running through the meat, will melt when cooked and make the meat tender adding flavor as well.

Then again after this comment:

I hope I have never made(and never WILL make) a thread this effing stupid .

I wouldn't expect you to know this.

It doesn't matter what cut. I bought 2 boxes of frozen new york strips which are about 12 steaks, 6oz each at walmart for 18 bucks. According to the label, each 6 oz steak is 210 calories. I been eating it all week while on my cut and I am still making weight. All that matters is your calorie intake at the end of the day.

The quality of the knife will be more dependent on how easy it is for cutting.
