Steak is a staple of American cuisine. If you are a meat lover, you appreciate traditional juicy beef steaks such as T-bone or ribeye, but if you have diabetes, lean cuts of meat must be made a priority over fatty meats, as the latter significantly increase your chance of cardiovascular disease. Fatty meats are high in cholesterol, which with time leads to the buildup of plaque on the walls of your arteries, narrowing them and blocking the blood flow to your heart.

So, whenever you’re in the mood for a steak dinner, your best option would be a filet mignon instead of a porterhouse. Nevertheless, although filet mignon is a lean cut of beef, the way it is cooked also matters a lot. When choosing a recipe, you have to make sure that neither seasoning nor sauce contain any substantial amount of carbs or saturated fat. Don’t worry, you will be able to find many of such recipes.
