What is this food?
Beef club steak is a cut of beef cooked as a steak. In a 100g serving, it’s mainly a protein food, with small amounts of fat and no carbohydrates.
Why it matters to health
This food helps support muscle repair and growth because it provides protein. It also has some fat, including saturated fat, so it’s best to pair it with fiber-rich sides (like vegetables) to make your meals more filling and balanced. Sodium is relatively low in this serving (about 36 mg), but if the steak is seasoned heavily or served with salty sauces, sodium can add up.
Healthier tips
For a balanced day (3 full meals + 1–2 snacks), use beef club steak as your main protein at lunch or dinner. Aim for a palm-sized portion (about 80–120g cooked, depending on your needs), then add 1–2 cups of non-starchy vegetables (e.g., broccoli, pechay, kangkong, mixed salad). Choose lighter cooking methods when possible (grill, broil, or pan-cook with minimal oil) and go easy on salty sauces (soy sauce, patis, gravy). If you’re having rice, keep the rice portion moderate and add more vegetables to improve fullness.
