Heart Healthy Beef

February is Heart Healthy month and I remembered last year when the American Heart Association in conjunction with the Cattlemen's Beef Board put out a release announcing that there were three cuts of lean beef that had been added to their list of heart healthy foods. They are:

• Boneless Top Sirloin Petite Roast (select grade)
• Top Sirloin Filet (select grade)
• Top Sirloin Kabob (select grade)

There are many other cuts that meat (he he he) government guidelines for lean cuts of beef as well so check them out on the release linked above. Since I'm at the National Cattlemen's Beef Association annual convention this week I thought it would be worth a focus on these lean cuts...and maybe give you an idea or two for a nice at-home Valentine's Day meal in a couple weeks...or a suggestion of what you should eat next time you are out at a nice steakhouse.
