About Braised steak

Braised steak is a hearty dish that originates from European comfort cuisine, often associated with British home cooking. It features tender cuts of beef, slow-cooked in a rich sauce often made with onions, garlic, beef stock, and sometimes tomatoes or red wine for added depth. This slow-cooking method breaks down the meat’s fibers, creating a melt-in-your-mouth texture while infusing it with robust flavors. Braised steak offers a good source of protein, iron, and essential nutrients like B vitamins, which support energy production. The inclusion of vegetables in the sauce can boost fiber and micronutrient content. However, depending on the preparation method, it can be high in saturated fats if cooked with butter or fatty cuts of beef. Choosing leaner cuts and minimizing added fats can make this dish a more balanced option for those mindful of their heart health or calorie intake.
