Patinho, a popular cut of beef in Brazilian cuisine, is a lean and versatile option commonly used in dishes like stews, ground beef preparations, and traditional recipes such as picadinho. Derived from the rear of the cow near the thigh, it is known for its low fat content and tender texture when cooked properly. Nutritionally, patinho is a good source of high-quality protein, essential for muscle repair and growth, as well as important micronutrients like iron and zinc, which support energy levels and immune function. Its low fat profile makes it a healthier red meat choice, especially when compared to fattier cuts. However, like all red meats, moderation is key to balance cholesterol and saturated fat intake within a healthy diet. Grilling, roasting, or stewing patinho without excessive oil or heavy sauces can maximize its health benefits while maintaining its natural flavors.
