Beef is moderate-to-high in purines; a typical dinner portion can increase gout flare risk if consumed frequently.
Good
Choosing lean cuts like trimmed sirloin or rib eye and cooking by steaming or microwaving can reduce purine content, making modest portions manageable.
Bad
Large portions, fatty cuts, and pairing with alcohol or sugary drinks strongly spike uric acid, raising the relative risk of gout by about 41%.
