Beef, lean, average, raw

Lean beef is meat from cattle with visible fat trimmed away. These figures describe raw beef, averaged across different cuts. It mainly provides protein, along with some fat and a range of vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, it contains 23g of protein, 4.3g of fat, including 1.7g of saturated fat, and 2.7mg of iron.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues, while iron is needed to make haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. Beef also provides vitamin B12 and zinc. Although visible fat has been removed, lean beef still contains saturated fat, which is worth noting when monitoring intake. Cooking and added ingredients can change the nutrient content per weight. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
