About Lagarto
Lagarto, a term often used in Spanish and Portuguese cuisine, refers to a tender cut of beef derived from the loin or rear leg. Known for its lean profile, this meat is prized for its mild flavor and versatility, featuring prominently in dishes like grilled steaks or slow-cooked stews. Lagarto is packed with protein, essential for muscle repair and growth, and contains vital nutrients such as iron and vitamin B12, which support energy production and red blood cell health. Its relatively low fat content makes it a healthier option compared to fattier cuts of beef, though it’s important to moderate consumption to avoid excess cholesterol intake. A favorite in Latin American kitchens, Lagarto is typically seasoned with vibrant marinades or spices, showcasing its ability to adapt to bold flavors while maintaining its nutritional benefits. Perfect for a balanced diet when enjoyed in moderation and combined with wholesome sides.
