whats the difference? and which steaks the best

  • What is the difference between, Prime, Select, Choice, and all grade steaks?


    And which of all these is the best/ leanest steak, to build muscle?

    Beef, bottom round
    - separable lean and fat, trimmed to 1/2" fat, prime,
    - separable lean and fat, trimmed to 1/8" fat, all grades, raw
    - separable lean and fat, trimmed to 1/8" fat, choice, raw
    - separable lean and fat, trimmed to 1/8" fat, select, raw
    - separable lean only, trimmed to 1/2" fat, prime, raw
    - separable lean only, trimmed to 1/8" fat, all grades, raw
    - separable lean only, trimmed to 1/8" fat, choice, raw
    - separable lean only, trimmed to 1/8" fat, select, raw
    - separable lean and fat, trimmed to 0" fat, all grades, raw
    -separable lean and fat, trimmed to 0" fat, choice, raw
    - separable lean and fat, trimmed to 0" fat, select, raw
    - separable lean only, trimmed to 0" fat, all grades, steak, raw
    -separable lean only, trimmed to 0" fat, choice, raw
    - separable lean only, trimmed to 0" fat, select, raw


    and same would go for

    Beef Top Round
    and
    Beef Sirloin tip?
  • I think sirloin tips are all the fatty trimmings of the top sirloin
  • i guess there are all about the same for 8 oz raw- cube steak, bottom round steak, top round steak, sirloin tip steak-

    320 cals
    12 gram of fat and 50 grams of protein


    for these cuts
