Beef, topside, roasted well-done, lean and fat

Beef topside is a cut of beef from the hind leg. The figures here describe it roasted until well-done, with both lean meat and fat included. It mainly provides protein and fat, with 33g of protein and 13g of fat per 100g, including 5.2g of saturated fat. It also provides iron, at 2.6mg per 100g.

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. The amount of fat eaten will depend partly on whether visible fat is removed.
