Nutritional values

Beef provides a lot of iron for blood formation, while the B-vitamins niacin and zinc both ensure an undisturbed protein and carbohydrate metabolism. 

Potatoes go well as a side dish to this recipe, complementing the amino acid profile of the dish, and allowing the body to better absorb the beef protein. If you prefer to stay low carb, serve our spicy apple-celery puree with this dish.
