Despite popular belief, a steak is occasionally good for you! Lean red meet contains a good dose of protein, selenium, zinc, iron, Vit B12, phosphorous and antioxidants.
Actually, the type of protein in lean beef helps protect your heart and colon, as well as maintaining bone density (especially in older men).
The zinc content is also good for your immune system, and especially in preventing ear infections.
I don't want to sing its praises too high, as many would use this as an excuse to have that quarter pounder. We are talking about lean beef, like this marinade here:

Everything in moderation, my mum used to say, and she wasn't wrong. A little of what you like is very good for you. Too much, and that's when issues arise.
