What it is

Roast beef is a cut of beef, typically from the round, rib, or sirloin, that has been cooked by roasting. It is usually seasoned and cooked whole, then sliced for consumption.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add roast beef primarily as a protein source and for its distinct flavor and texture. It is a main ingredient in sandwiches, wraps, and prepared meals.

Health notes

Roast beef is a source of protein, iron, and B vitamins. Like other red meats, it can contain saturated fat and sodium, depending on its preparation and processing. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2025-2030) recommend limiting saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies red meat as probably carcinogenic to humans (Group 2A).
