Besides being more inexpensive, the less popular cuts and ground beef/ground chuck contain higher levels of collagen than the usual steak centre cuts(ribeye, strip, sirloin, fillet), which has high levels of the essential amino acid glycine. Cook these roast/stew cuts low and slow, and they will become ‘melt in your mouth’ tender. As an added bonus, you will usually have extra fat in the roast pan that you can render as tallow for general cooking.
Correction: Our bodies can in fact synthesise glycine, so it is not an essential amino acid. However, boosting levels through diet is certainly beneficial. Collagen is important for our skin, hair, nails, tendons, muscles, and bones. Our bodies make this protein, but production declines as we age, so cook up those roasts, stews, and bone broth soups!

Very funny.
Blah...haha. I was slightly alarmed for a quick second regarding no meat.‼️‼️
I love your challenge! I think I'll make your pot roast tonight!
