The beef leg slices score points with a good load of high-quality protein, which is very important for building and maintaining muscles. The iron from the meat is easily digestible by the body and important for blood formation.

If you don't want this dish with beef bone slices to be low carb, you can also add boiled potatoes or homemade spaetzle.
