Who doesn’t like grilling out? Grilling is a great low-fat way to cook because it doesn’t involve adding any additional fat. And sirloin is one of the leaner cuts of beef, with a 3-ounce serving having less than 2 grams of saturated fat. Skewer that sirloin with a variety of healthy, colorful veggies, and you have a delicious kabob fit for any grill master!
