  • Yes. For example, a 3 ounce or 85g serving of Broiled/Overhead Grilled Sirloin Steak, trimmed of all fat, has 3.4 mg of iron. Another example: A London Broil, Minute Steak, or Round Steak with lean and fat, trimmed to a 1/8" rim of fat, has 2.7 mg of iron in a 3 ounce or 85g serving.
  • Yes. A typical serving of steak (85grams/3 Ounces) has a 13% DV (daily value) of iron, otherwise noted as 2.4 mg of iron.

In a word, yes. However, you do not have to eat beef or any other type of meat to get iron. You can get it easily from beans and other legumes as well as dark green vegetables like kale, spinach, and mustard or collard greens. The best way to absord iron from foods is to always combine an iron rich food with a vitamin c rich food, like a serving of citrus fruit, berries, other fruit, or a small glass of fruit juice. There's also a prouct I have used myself while I was pregnant to maintain healthy iron levels called Floradix Iron and Herbs. It was very effective, and worked quickly. Hope this helps!

Yes, at some level. Red meat has more iron in it than chicken or pork, though.

It will digest "properly" unless it has been consumed along with milk to tea/coffee (which all inhibit iron absorption).

Haem iron is the kind of iron found in meat, which is more easily utilized by the body.
