Beef, flank, raw, lean and fat

Beef flank is a cut of beef from the abdominal area of the animal. The figures here describe raw flank with both lean meat and fat included. It mainly provides protein and fat: per 100g, it contains 20g of protein and 21g of fat, including 8.7g of saturated fat. Its energy content is 1105 kJ per 100g.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. Beef flank also provides iron, which is needed for red blood cell formation, and zinc, which supports normal immune function. The fat and saturated fat content are worth noting for people monitoring their energy or saturated fat intake. Full nutrient figures are given in the tables below.
