What is Cooked low-fat red meat?

Cooked low-fat red meat is a leaner portion of meat from animals such as cattle or sheep, prepared by grilling, roasting, pan-cooking or braising. Beef and lamb are common choices, though the cut and cooking method shape its flavour and texture; it is not one particular dish.

It may be served as a main with vegetables, potatoes, grains or salad, or sliced into sandwiches and wraps. Grilling gives it a browned, savoury surface, while slow cooking can make tougher cuts tender. It is protein-rich and contains no carbohydrates, with 6.1 g of fat per 100 g. Choose a lean cut and trim visible fat for a lighter meal; vegetables or a fresh salad make an easy accompaniment.
