Sirloin Steak on Extra Easy

[miss_clarabelle]

Hi Everyone,

I hope you're all having a fab week. I have a little question someone might be able to help me with....Today I bought a sirloin steak for my din dins. It's smallish, as I heard steak the size of your palm should be plenty big enough, and I'll be cutting off the fat before cooking (then frying with low cal). I looked in the optimising book and it says beef is a free food. Then I looked in the back and it says 'beefsteak' is syns, but I'm not sure if this means processed 'beefsteak' like ones from Birdseye etc.

Does anyone know if sirloin steak is free or not? I've tried SW website and have had no joy at all.

I've read stuff about people eating steak...but do they count it as a syn.

Please help.....I'm hungry.
Love C xxx

Steak is free as long as any visible fat is removed.

Where in the book did you read this about "beefsteak" - which page?

 

[miss_clarabelle]

Sorry it was 'grillsteaks', but page 54 of the optimizing book.

Oh right - that's not proper steak. They are processed things.
