Beef, topside, roasted well-done, lean

Beef topside is a cut of beef; the figures here describe the lean meat roasted until well-done. It mainly provides protein, with some fat, as well as minerals and B vitamins. Per 100g, it contains 36g of protein and 6.3g of fat, including 2.6g of saturated fat. It also provides 2.9mg of iron.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. Iron is needed to make haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. Beef also supplies vitamin B12, which supports normal nerve function and red blood cell formation. Although these figures describe lean meat, its saturated fat content remains relevant for people monitoring their intake. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
