Fillet Mignon with Butter and Vegetables
Healthy, because
Even smarter
With plenty of protein, beef is not only well received by athletes, as we need this nutrient not only for muscle building but also for the formation of cells, messenger substances and antibodies. The meat also scores points with approximately 2.5 milligrams of iron per 100 grams of beef, covering one quarter of the daily requirement. We need this mineral for the formation of blood and an optimal oxygen transport in the body. The well-known vegetable parsnip can keep up with modern superfoods because it is full of healthy ingredients. 100 grams contain 523 milligrams of potassium, which strengthens the cardiovascular system.
Beef fillets are in themselves very high quality meat, the tops, also called filet mignon, even surpass them in quality, as they are specially tender, juicy and tasty. You can also add carrots to your vegetable garnish, peel, dice and roast them together with parsnips. Migonon steak is also suitable for a lamb's lettuce with Emmental.
