You don't have to kick juicy steaks off the grill because you have high cholesterol. Just choose the right cut of beef. Trade well-marbled rib eye or porterhouse for lean tenderloin, flank steak, or filet mignon, and trim away any excess fat. Even better, use grass-fed beef, which has 25 percent less saturated fat and 20 percent less cholesterol than grain-fed beef. Cooking tip: Marinate super-lean grass-fed beef before grilling.
