Beef, fillet steak, grilled, lean

Beef fillet steak is a cut of beef, and the figures here refer to the lean meat after grilling. It mainly provides protein and fat, with 29g of protein, 8g of fat and 3.6g of saturated fat per 100g. It also provides iron, at 2.3mg per 100g.

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, it still contains saturated fat, which is worth noting for people monitoring their intake. Added salt, butter or sauces will change the nutritional content of the meal. Full nutritional figures are in the tables below.
