National Beef Month

May is National Beef Month, and that works perfectly with all the grills being fired up now that warmer weather has finally arrived. To the consternation of anti-meat activists, beef is still one of  America’s favorites when it comes to grilling. Here’s another little tidbit that anti-meat activists find it hard to swallow, there are twenty-nine cuts of beef that meet government guidelines for lean, which means they have less than ten grams of fat and less than four point five grams of saturated fat per serving. On top of that, those twenty-nine cuts of beef are packed with nutrients, like zinc, iron, a multitude of B-vitamins, and protein. National Cattleman’s Beef Association’s Executive Chef Dave Zino likes to say that “beef is nature’s best tasting multi-vitamin”. Zino also says to help in identifying lean cuts of beef at the supermarket just remember loin and round, those choices should get you lean cuts of beef every time. Whether your favorite for the grill is sirloin, top loin, tender loin, or top round you know it’s going to taste good. And now you know that while you may be choosing beef because of its flavor, you’re also making a healthy food choice.
