With barbecue season almost upon us, avoiding red meat is pretty much impossible. How can you say no to hamburgers, hotdogs, and steak? They’re synonymous with being American. But while these barbecue foods are delicious, they’re not the healthiest as red meat is high in saturated fat and sodium. Don’t worry—we’ve got you covered with how to enjoy red meat while eating healthily.

Lean Cuts

Choosing lean cuts of meat will reduce the saturated fat and sodium in your meat. Keep an eye out for labels that read sirloin, round, or loin as they are lower in fat than other cuts of meat.

Build Up Burgers

Bulking up burgers with mushrooms, beans, or lean meats like turkey will make your burgers tastier and more filling.

Trim the Fat

Trim off any visible fat when prepping the meat and pour off the melted fat after you’ve cooked the meat.

Don’t Char and Smoke

It’s known that smoking and charring foods have been linked to an increased risk for cancer, so avoid cooking your meats this way.

Add Produce

Incorporate summer fruits and veggies onto your plate for a more balanced meal. Salads and kebabs are tasty uses for produce.

Regardless of if you’re trying to reach your protein goals or you just enjoy the taste of meat, you don’t have to spend a lot of money on meat to get flavorful cuts that are easy to prepare. These are the best inexpensive cuts that you should try out.

Chicken Leg Quarters

In general, chicken is much cheaper than other meat options, but the price of boneless chicken thighs, which used to be much cheaper than boneless chicken breasts has gone up in price. Chicken leg quarters are now the best option for those on a budget, but beware that they do take longer to cook than boneless options.

Ground Turkey

Ground beef used to be the cheapest ground meat option, but now ground turkey matches the price. It’s also a healthier alternative as it’s lower in cholesterol and fat.

Beef Brisket

Although brisket requires hours of braising to break down the tough, lean muscle fibers, multicookers and pressure cookers can cut down the cooking time.

Pork Shoulder

Pork shoulders are another meat that work great for slow cookers and multicookers and they’re one of the most affordable meats available. Many chefs love pork shoulders because it has a mild flavor and it’s extremely versatile.
