Healthy, because
Roast beef is an ideal source of protein, iron, niacin, zinc and vitamin B12 and therefore has a positive effect on blood formation and blood lipids.
Even smarter
If it is not the season for watercress, use garden cress. The essential oils strengthen the immune system. If you don't pay attention to calories, you can round off the taste of the sauce with some olive oil, which contributes valuable unsaturated fatty acids.
