The beneficial properties of beef do not end there.
When losing weight, it is recommended to eat dishes made from lean cuts of meat, for example, tenderloin (the part of beef in the kidney area) or rump (a piece on the pelvic bone). It takes a lot of energy to break down the product, so after eating a person does not feel hungry for a long time, and calories continue to be wasted. For this reason, beef should be included in the menu for those who are on a diet.
Dietary dishes made from minced meat are the easiest to digest. It is recommended to include such food in the menu for gastritis, pancreatitis and other gastrointestinal pathologies.
In order for dietary beef dishes to bring only benefits, the daily dose should not exceed 300 g. If consumed excessively or improperly prepared, problems arise:

What to prefer: beef or veal
Dietary dishes made from beef and veal are popular when dieting, as they contain little fat, saturate the body with useful substances, and have a pleasant taste. However, each type of meat has both its pros and cons.
Beef contains little bad cholesterol and a lot of gelatin, which accelerates blood clotting. For the diet, you should select a lean part of the carcass (tenderloin, rump). The disadvantage of this meat is that it often turns out tough. To prevent this from happening, various components are added to the base during preparation or it is simmered with water. You need to cook dietary beef dishes for a long time, then they will be soft.
Beef is useful for anemia and visual impairment, it helps to recover faster from injuries or serious illnesses.
Dietary dishes made from veal are easily digestible and contain valuable amino acids and minerals. The cholesterol level in the product is much lower than in beef or lamb. Calf meat is rich in gelatin, which accelerates blood clotting, so it should be eaten by people with cardiovascular pathologies. And thanks to extractive substances, this meat normalizes digestion. Veal contains little fat and has a delicate taste and aroma.
This is interesting! Beef is digestible by 75%, and veal by 90%. However, cow meat contains less fat, so it can be used to create more low-calorie options.

Which meat is better: steamed, boiled, stewed, baked, charcoal-grilled?
In order for dietary beef dishes to be tasty and healthy, you need to choose the right method for preparing them. The classic method of heat treatment is cooking.
To prepare a thick, flavorful broth, cover the meat with cool water and cook over high heat. To get delicious cooked beef, place it in boiling water. After boiling, the heat must be reduced, and do not forget to remove the foam.
If you decide to boil meat, then you need to correctly determine the heat treatment time. For young meat, 40-60 minutes is enough, for old meat – 2-2.5 hours.
Add salt at the end of cooking (10-15 minutes). If you are using a frozen product, defrost it as usual, without microwave.
Beef dishes cooked in a slow cooker are soft and tender. This type of food is easier to prepare and contains minimal calories and fat. Culinary experts advise beating meat before cooking or marinating it in lemon juice. The acid breaks down coarse fibers and enhances the flavor of the beef.
Steam the meat for 10 minutes, then add water and cook for another 1.5-2.5 hours. You can also immediately install the “Extinguishing” program.
Dietary beef dishes fried in a frying pan in hot oil are contraindicated for weight loss and proper nutrition (PN). It is enough to fry the pieces in a non-stick pan without vegetable oil or any other fat. After a short heat treatment (10-15 minutes), the dietary beef is poured with water or broth and simmered over low heat for 1.5-2.5 hours. Stewed meat retains some of its beneficial properties, it is juicy and soft.
Advice! To make soft diet beef in the oven, you need to wrap them in foil or cook them in a sleeve. Make sure that there is no hole in the shell, otherwise the fillet will become dry and tough. To increase juiciness, use watery vegetables (zucchini, tomatoes, cabbage), which are placed under or on the meat. The optimal temperature for cooking is from 190 to 220 degrees. Approximate heat treatment time is from 75 to 90 minutes.
Diet beef can be grilled; to do this, it needs to be marinated for 5 hours or more. Lemon juice is often used as the main ingredient in the marinade. A piece of meat can be wrapped in foil so that the juice does not leak out, however, it needs to be unwrapped 10-15 minutes before the end of cooking.
