The New Year is always a good time to reevaluate things we’re doing and making shifts where needed.

So many of us need to watch our waistlines. So how can we do that as steak lovers?

Lean cuts of steak!

Some of my faves are these steaks and beef certified by the American Heart Association to be extra lean.

There are Top Sirloin steaks, steak tips, ground beef patties and more. A great start.
