Choosing a Healthy Cut

When you visit your butcher or the meat section of your grocery store, you may find a variety of cuts labeled as New York strip. To get the leanest and most heart-healthy cut, look for steaks labeled choice or select. These terms refer to the fat marbling in the meat. Choice and select cuts have less intramuscular fat than select cuts but generally aren't as tender and juicy as cuts with more fat. A single New York strip steak can weigh about 9 oz., so one steak could provide enough meat for three servings.

Before you cook your steaks, trim off the fat 1. This will reduce the amount of unhealthy saturated fat in the meat. To compensate for the loss in flavor, marinate your steak, using a fat- and sugar-free recipe or bottled product, or rub it with your favorite spice blend before cooking. Choose dry cooking methods, such as baking, broiling or grilling, over sauteing or pan-frying. Grill or broil steaks on an open rack to allow the melted fat to drip off the meat as it cooks.
