These Are The 3 Leanest Cuts Of Steak
By CYRENA GOURDEAU
Sirloin Tip Side Steak
The leanest available cut is the sirloin tip side steak, which has roughly 200 calories, 5.4 grams of fat, and 39 grams of protein in a 3.5-ounce serving. However, the absence of fat makes the sirloin tip side cut susceptible to being overly dry, which can also make this meat extremely chewy and unpleasant.
Lean Top Round Steak
The second leanest steak, also known as a London Broil or Family Steak, is the Lean Top Round Steak, which contains 240 calories, 7.6 grams of fat, and 36.9 grams of protein in a 3.5-ounce serving. This cut is taken from the cow's rump, which produces most of the animal's motions and, by nature, has little fat.
Eye of Round Steak
Coming in at 276 calories, 7 grams of fat, and 49.8 grams of protein per 3.5 ounces of serving, The Eye of Round Steak is the third leanest cut of steak out there on the market. This makes it a good compromise if you're looking for red meat that is lean but still has a bit of fat and flavor.
