Beef fore-rib, also called rib-roast, is a cut of beef from the rib section. These figures describe the raw meat with both lean tissue and fat included. It mainly provides protein and fat: per 100g, it contains 19g of protein and 20g of fat, including 8.9g of saturated fat. Its energy content is 1052 kJ per 100g.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. Beef also provides vitamin B12, which helps maintain normal nerve function and red blood cell formation, as well as iron and zinc. The saturated fat and energy content are worth noting for people monitoring their intake. Cooking and removing visible fat can change the nutrient content of the meat eaten.
