Beef, braising steak, braised, lean only

Beef braising steak is a cut of beef cooked slowly with liquid. These figures refer to the braised meat, with only the lean portion included, rather than any accompanying sauce or gravy. It mainly provides protein and fat, along with minerals and vitamins. Per 100g, it contains 34g of protein, 9.7g of fat, including 4.1g 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. Although these figures describe lean meat only, it still contains saturated fat, which is worth noting for people monitoring their intake. Added salt, sauces or gravy can change the nutritional content of the meal. Full nutritional figures are in the tables below.
