It’s springtime. That means warmer weather, SHORTS (!) and being outside.

That makes me so happy!

It also means I feel the urge to eat lighter. Something about sunny days (maybe it’s the desire to not look like a blob in lighter clothes) makes me want to consume lighter fare.

These delicious steaks certified by the American Heart Association to be extra lean are a good way to tame my cravings, but perhaps a bit more delicately.

They’re heart healthy and satisfying without the feeling of a heavy meal.

Absolutely perfect!

You can order AHA-certified steaks here and try all the different offerings — steakburgers, steaks and Top Sirloin tips. Yummo!

And, uh, if you create a really delicious recipe with these, please share it here! We’re always looking for something different to try.

Happy spring, everybody!

Since March is National Nutrition Month, there’s a lot of talk about eating healthy out there.

We steak lovers strive to be healthy, too, so I thought we might like a refresher on what the leanest cuts of meat actually are.

And where’s the best place to get this information? The American Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics at EatRight.org.

Click here to see the full answer to the question:  “Which cuts of meat are considered lean?”

And when you’re ready to incorporate some sirloin into your weekly menus, you can order some fantastic beef that has been certified extra lean by the American Heart Association here.

What are YOUR goals for this National Nutrition Month???

February is American Heart Month to raise awareness of heart disease.

In honor of that, why not try some heart healthy steaks certified by the American Heart Association?

These steaks are very, very lean and are trimmed of all exterior fat. The beautiful thing is – that doesn’t compromise the hearty sirloin taste!

Healthy AND tasty? Sounds good to me.
