Day 51 of 365 | The Carnivore Diet Experiment! Steaks to avoid!
Hi friends: It’s day 51 of 365 of the carnivore diet experiment! When I started this journey I had no idea which steaks to buy, so I just guessed and sometimes I would just ask the butcher. Keep in mind that some of the butcher recommendations were hits and misses. So a lot of this was trial and error. I’m going to save you that frustration and expense.
Whether it’s a dinner out at your favorite restaurant or a cookout at home with friends and family, here are the cuts of not so juicy and tasty steaks. They are the ones to avoid at the butcher shop or grocery store.
Steaks to avoid:
Eye of round steak
It looks like the cuts taken from the tenderloin but looks can be deceiving. It is tough and not juicy.
Bottom round steak
Taken from the outer part of the round that is a well-exercised area of the animal. The meat tends to be tough and needs marinating for up to 24 hours. If you do buy it, add coarse salt and marinate in a zip lock bag for at least 24 hours. It has a very beefy flavor. Our entire family hated it.
Top sirloin
It does taste good but can be really tough, so if anyone in your household has braces avoid this cut. It absolutely needs marinating but who has time for that.
Flap steak
I was not a fan of this one. It was flavorful, but was chewy and fibrous. No thanks.
New York strip steak
This cut was very tough. This meat is taken from the T-bone area. If you like the taste of a T-bone and a tough steak. You might like it. I didn’t.
So now that you know which steaks to avoid. Check which steaks are the best!
Today’s dinner was steak and carbonated water! We have some leftover cheese from my daughter’s pizza party. No one in the house eats cheese anymore. I can’t have it and I don’t want to throw it away. I hate wasting food. I’m sure it will be to have a bit. So correction….Today’s dinner was steak, mozzarella cheese, and carbonated water.
