This sums me up. Depends on the fat.


Me too. And also depends on how much it's cooked.

You may just want to look into the ketogenic or zero carb/carnivore diets. Check out Dr. Ken D. Berry on the subject.

Really depends on the steak, how it's cooked, and the fat consistency.

We normally do filets, so there is minimal to no fat. A well cooked sirloin and some of the fat is edible.

I like the flavor of some well grilled fat, so I will eat some of it, but not all.

This, typically. Plus what Rhino said, it depends on the steak.

I eat the fat! Its my favorite part!

As a kid and in college when I would go visit my grandmother, she would make me pork roast. We'd fight over the fat! (I know its not steak but we were the same with steak, too.)

I don't specifically avoid fat in my diet, but I sure as heck don't go out of my way to eat it in quantity.

Same here. If it’s soft and tender, easy to chew, I’ll eat it. If it’s chewy or gristly, I don’t bother. For example, the fat on the NY strip in the thread I posted the other day was kinda halfway between the two extremes so I had a few bites and trimmed off the rest. The fat on the ribeye on page two was like butter and there wasn’t a scrap wasted.

I eat some/ a little of the surrounding fat but not all of it. Like, on a NY strip steak, I like the fat that has been seared well (the thinner areas on the sides of the steak). But not the quarter sized blubbery section at the end.

I eat it, but I cut off bigger portions and break it up evenly with my steak. When I was a kid I cut it off and my grandfather would eat it telling me I was wasting the best part, he was right, fat is flavor.

I trim my steaks before I cook them with the thinnest of layer left on it. The intermuscular fat (marbeling) is what give a good steak it's flavor and biggest component of it's grading. I love Ribeyes, there is more than enough fat in the meat, I don't need the stuff around the meat.
