Reducing Fat in Steak: A Cooking Method Analysis


Question
Hi,

Its very kind of you to offer to answer questions from the public..here is mine :-

If I brown very lean steak in a pan, then cook it in a thin broth for say 2 hours, then remove all the liquid fat by refrigerating, will I reduce the original fat content of the beef by very much

With kind regards,

John Reed


Answer
Hi John,

Yes, this an effective way to help remove fat from meat products. I can't give you a definitive value for how much fat it will remove, but it will be a significant amount.

Another good strategy, when you're cooking ground meat (e.g ground beef or chicken), is to fully cook the meat, then put it in a colander and rinse it with hot water. It doesn't take much time, but does get rid of a lot of fat (of course you need to drain any fat that was in the pan away too).

Hope that helps!
