In this month of romance, beef is the preferred choice of Americans (62%) because nothing says love like a great steak dinner for Valentine’s Day. Americans associate steak as a “best match” for love (44%), romance (42%) and passion (41%)—more so than other high-end proteins. The flavor of beef and the protein it provides are the main reasons Americans love it so much.  The craving for beef is driven by umami, the fifth taste. Umami is simply described as meaty or savory and when beef is paired with other umami-rich foods, such as tomatoes, mushrooms, red wine, Teriyaki sauce, aged cheeses and the result is a flavor explosion. The Beef we love is also good for us too! A 3 ounce portion of beef contains 10 essential vitamins and nutrients! Check out your supermarket case for the popular cuts of beef that meet government guidelines for “lean” including favorites like flank steak, tenderloin, 95 percent lean ground beef and T-bone.
