In my view step #1 needs to be to identify what exactly in red meat, or beef in particular, is generally bad for health.
Step #2 would be to genetically engineer the beef to have less of whatever it is that is harmful to health.
Step #3 is to grow the meat itself, sans animal.
One Frankenstein sounding idea I've heard discussions about involved genetically engineering farm chicken to have minimally viable nervous systems. Essentially just the functions required to grow meat, with no brain to speak of, including no pain receptors or brain function to process pain. The first question is whether that would be ethical, the 2nd is if it's technically feasible.
