About Beef knuckle

Beef knuckle, also known as the round primal or sirloin tip, is a versatile cut taken from the hind leg of the cow. Popular in various cuisines, especially in stewing and slow-cooked dishes, this cut consists of lean muscle and connective tissue, making it ideal for hearty recipes like roasts, ground beef, and stir-fries. Nutritionally, beef knuckle is a rich source of protein, essential vitamins like B12, and minerals such as iron and zinc, supporting muscle repair and energy production. It’s relatively low in fat compared to fattier cuts, making it a more health-conscious choice for meat lovers. However, like other red meats, moderation is key, as it contains cholesterol and saturated fat. Proper cooking methods, such as braising or trimming excess fat, can enhance its health profile while delivering robust flavor.
