Beef Broth with Rice (Low-Chol)
A Mexican-style clear beef broth simmered with lean sirloin, tomato, onion, and garlic, finished with cooked white rice, cilantro, and lime. Skimmed of surface fat to minimize saturated fat and cholesterol, the broth stays savory and light, ladled hot over rice for a warming soup course.
