Beef, fore-rib/rib-roast, microwaved, lean and fat

Beef fore-rib, also called rib-roast, is a cut of beef from the rib section. The figures here describe microwaved beef with both lean meat and fat included. It mainly provides protein and fat: per 100g, it contains 30g of protein and 21g of fat, including 9.2g of saturated fat. Its energy content is 1275 kJ per 100g.

Protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues. Beef also provides iron, which is needed for red blood cell formation, and zinc, which supports normal immune function. The saturated fat and energy content are points to note for people monitoring these in their diet, particularly as these figures include the fat as well as the lean meat. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
