Meat is your biggest source of iron from one place, but it isn't necessarily your best. It is easily possible to get enough iron from other foods, as well, meat will just give you the most iron at once.
Organ meat like liver will give you the most, but for vegetables, the dark greens like kale and spinach will also give you a lot.
Pumpkin seeds will actually give you more iron per serving size than beef (and pumpkin seeds have a smaller serving size!). Tofu, soybeans, and lentils also contain a lot of iron.
Just keep in mind that you can have too much iron in your diet as well! No one, at any age, is supposed to have more than 45 mg of iron a day.
