Lean Beef Recipes Biography

Thanks to a national checkoff partnership with the New York Beef Industry Council (NYBIC), as part of its Northeast Beef Promotion Initiative (NEBPI), the checkoff exhibited at the Pri-Med East Conference in Boston, Mass., Sept. 12- 14. This annual meeting was hosted at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center near the Boston Harbor.
Joined by more than 4,100 Medical Doctors, Nurse Practitioners, Family Physicians and similar medical professionals, the checkoff shared the latest protein research to improve the doctor recommendation of including lean beef as part of a healthy diet. The group received BOLD study toolkits, nutrition fact sheets, and beef recipes to assist in their practices. Many were pleased to see beef represented at their meeting, as nutrition is a large component of healthy living.
Along with exhibiting, the checkoff hosted an interactive cooking demo featuring lean cuts, the use of salt-free seasoning and beef nutrition information physicians could pass on to their clients and patients. Physicians at the event wanted to know about the versatility of sirloin and round beef cuts, cooking methods and choosing lean beef in the grocery store.

This event served as the first opportunity to present the science of the benefits of lean beef in the diet, to such a great group of physicians, from across the northeast. Cindy Phillips, RD from the NYBIC, attended alongside with checkoff staff talking about the BOLD research and hosting the interactive beef demo. Phillips provided physicians with great nutrition information and tips for including lean beef in both their patient’s diets, as well as their own.
“The attendees were quite engaged in learning that many of the beef cuts are lean. Although quite a few raised the question about red meat and heart diseases, they were interested to learn that a heart-healthy diet that includes lean beef, even daily, can lower LDL-cholesterol, from results in the BOLD study,” said Phillips. “I pointed out that when a favorite lean protein, such as beef, is included in the diet, therapy compliance improves. The attendees all agreed with that. They were just as interested in discussing the science as the beef cuts of tenderloin and NY strip steak. There were many ‘beef-lovers’ among the attendees!”

The Beef Checkoff Program was established as part of the 1985 Farm Bill. The checkoff assesses $1 per head on the sale of live domestic and imported cattle, in addition to a comparable assessment on imported beef and beef products. States retain up to 50 cents on the dollar and forward the other 50 cents per head to the Cattlemen's Beef Promotion and Research Board, which administers the national checkoff program, subject to USDA approval.
• Prepare the grill with cooking spray.
• To prepare the meat, combine all the ingredients and marinate the beef steaks in them.
• Thread three steak pieces, two peach wedges, one onion and one red pepper wedge alternately onto a 12-inch skewer.
• Place the skewer on the grill and spray it with cooking spray. Grill the kebabs for approximately six minutes, until they become tender. You may turn the skewers over to make sure the meat is cooked completely.
• Once cooked, allow the kebabs to cool on a flat dinner platter.
For the sauce:
• Mix the garlic, parsley, olive oil, vinegar, salt and black pepper, whisking thoroughly.
• Pour the sauce over the grilled kebabs using a cooking brush. Your dish is now ready!
Quick tips:
• Using two skewers instead of one makes it easier to hold the kebabs while grilling.
• Wooden or bamboo skewers work better than metal ones in ensuring that the meat is cooked through.
• You can convert your kebabs into a delicious South-east Asian delight simply by adding thick slices of sautéed lemongrass, basil and some more fresh garlic and peppers.
• Did you know that beef is rich in phosphorous and iron, both of which are essential for the human body. Phosphorous makes for strong teeth and bones and iron helps carry oxygen through the blood, to all cells and muscles. It also prevents fatigue.
• Lean beef is a great source of protein, providing 64.1% of the daily value of the nutrient, in just four ounces!
• Organic beef is rich in Selenium and Zinc. The selenium is needed for the proper function of Glutathione Peroxidase, an antioxidant that curtails the severity of inflammatory conditions like asthma and rheumatoid arthritis. Zinc protects the walls of blood vessels against damage and supports the immune system.
• Beef from grass-fed cows has been proven to have more Omega-3 fatty acids, which reduces the risk of heart disease. It does not raise total blood cholesterol.
• Beef contains cholesterol and saturated fats that can increase risk of heart diseases.
• Excessive consumption of beef raises the risk of colon, rectum and other cancers.
• Red meat is vulnerable to bacteria, parasites and viruses and if not cooked properly, causes certain food-borne diseases.
• In many parts of the world, beef is routinely treated with antibiotics to protect it from infection. In some rare cases, people sensitive to the harsh chemicals of the antibiotics may have an allergic reaction after consuming the treated meat.
