Nutritional values

Protein-rich from roast beef and mushrooms: the latter, together with onions and herbs, also cover the need for niacin, vitamin B12 and zinc - all important for protein and carbohydrate metabolism - and iron, which is essential for blood formation; menopausal women, pregnant women and nursing mothers need especially large amounts of it.

Since iron can be better absorbed with vitamin C, but the vitamin is only weakly represented in this dish, a glass of orange juice provides a better balance. And choose a carbohydrate-rich side dish such as potatoes, polenta or baguette - it improves the ratio of protein to carbohydrates.
