What it is

Beef steak is a cut of meat from cattle, typically sliced across the muscle fibers. It is obtained by butchering cattle and preparing specific sections of the animal for consumption.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add beef steak to packaged foods primarily for its flavor, protein content, and texture. It is commonly found in frozen dinners, prepared wraps, and appetizers, providing a substantial and savory component.

Health notes

Beef steak is a whole food, not a food additive, and is regulated by the USDA and FDA as a meat product. It is a good source of protein, iron, and other essential nutrients. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2025-2030) advise limiting saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories, which can be a consideration with some cuts of beef. Neither JECFA nor EFSA set ADIs for whole foods like beef steak.

Allergen info

Beef is not considered one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA.
