What it is

Beef stock is a flavorful liquid made by simmering beef bones, meat, and vegetables in water. Beef refers to the meat from cattle. Both are used as food ingredients.

Why it's used

Beef and beef stock are added to foods primarily for their rich flavor and savory taste. Beef also provides protein and texture to dishes. They are commonly found in savory prepared foods like frozen dinners, soups, and sauces.

Health notes

Beef and beef stock are generally recognized as food ingredients and are not regulated as food additives by the FDA. Beef is a source of protein, iron, and other nutrients. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories, and beef can contribute to saturated fat in the diet. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies the consumption of red meat, such as beef, as probably carcinogenic to humans (Group 2A).
