A center cut filet will be lean and the most tender. It also depends on where you go and how you get it cooked. A medium rare to medium filet will melt in your mouth if cooked properly and it's good quality. A sirloin will be your leanest cut, but it is definitely not your most tender. Sirloin is cheaper than a filet, so I guess it depends on what you want to spend. I always go with a filet.

No it's not. The 19 lean cuts, beginning with the leanest, include: eye round roast; top round steak; mock tender (or chuck-eye) steak; bottom round roast; top sirloin steak; round tip roast; 95 percent lean ground beef; brisket (flat half); shank crosscuts; chuck shoulder roast; arm pot roast; shoulder steak; top loin (strip or New York) steak; flank steak; rib eye steak; rib steak; tri-tip roast; tenderloin (or filet mignon) steak; and T-bone steak. For the leanest end result, choose cuts with less marbling and trim all visible fat after cooking.
