Beef, silverside, pot-roasted, lean

Beef silverside is a cut of beef from the hindquarter. The figures here describe the lean meat after pot-roasting. It mainly provides protein, along with some fat and a range of vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, it contains 34g of protein and 6.3g of fat, including 2.5g of saturated fat. It also provides 2.8mg of iron.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues, while iron is needed to make haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. The saturated fat content is worth noting for people monitoring their intake. Salt added during cooking, or served in gravy, can increase the salt content of the meal.
