Beef, stewing steak, raw, lean and fat

Beef stewing steak is meat from cattle intended for slow cooking. The figures here describe raw steak with both lean meat and fat included. It mainly provides protein and fat, with 22g of protein and 6.4g of fat per 100g, including 2.6g of saturated fat. It also provides minerals, including 5.3mg of zinc.

Protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues, while zinc contributes to normal immune function and wound healing. The saturated fat content is worth noting for people monitoring their intake. Cooking changes the meat’s water content, so its nutrient content by weight may differ after preparation.
