Is this a healthy way to cook meat for meal preps?
I started cooking my food and packing it away in containers.
I just eat meats cooked in cumin and pepper and little salt, steamed plantain steamed sweet potato, steamed brocolli, and a little black beans stew with (made with tomatoes bell pepper onion garlic and chilli's) all minimal salt and oil
I did 2 weeks with no rice, and this last week I reintroduced brown rice into my diet
I been losing weight eating like this, but I've been craving red meat.
Now I'm born and raised here but my parents descend from Southeastern Asia.
My favourite way of eating red meat is Goat curry, which is goat seared sauted with onions and chilli's, and submerged in water (which will make a broth, cause the meat is not boneless), then when the water is simmered out you slow cook it in it's own juices till it's tender and slips off the bone, this meat is shiny and fatty and delicious.
Now I picked up how Chinese prepare goat which is far different from how people of indian descent prepare goat, they first boil the meat in water and then drain all the water, you can visibly see all the fat go away and scum and stuff. After that they saute it with garlic chilli cumin and little soya sauce.
The meat still taste good, it's just a little less delicious, but it's not bad at all. So I'm wondering if pre boiling your meat is a good way to prepare meat.
This might sound like a stupid question because it's just cooking meat and removing the fat first, but I don't see anyone else cooking this way

Your food sounds delicious and healthy!
If you are cooking a fatty meat and want to avoid fat but retain flavour,then keeping the skin and bone in the cooking process is good. But chilling then skimming off the fat that rises to the surface allows you to keep the taste but throw away unnecessary fat and calories. You can do this whether cooking in your traditional way, or any other way.
Maybe also experiment with lean cuts of meats such as chicken, turkey, beef, pork and lamb, and give serious thought to fish and shellfish.
