Tag: Beef cuts explained

An average boneless chuck roast contains roughly 13 grams of total fat per 100-gram serving, confirming that this is not a lean cut of beef. While its fat content is higher than many other cuts, this characteristic is actually the secret to its deep, beefy flavor and incredibly tender texture when cooked properly.

According to nutrition data, a 3-ounce serving of top sirloin has significantly less fat and fewer calories than the same serving size of ribeye. The simple answer to which one is leaner, sirloin or ribeye, is that sirloin is consistently the leaner cut.
