Healthy, because
Beef is one of the best sources of iron, which stimulates blood formation and improves oxygen transport in the body. Another plus point: the iron from beef is optimally usable for the body.
Even smarter
If you don't have time to cook at lunchtime, then simply prepare twice the amount in the evening and take the second portion to work or eat it the next evening.
