Beef is one of the most popular meats in Nigeria. It is a red meat and though it can be a source of nutrients and vitamins, it is best to go for lean cuts of beef that have as little fat as possible.

It is very common to see someone eating a meal and waiting till the main dish is finished before tearing apart a large chunk of beef. Beef can also sold as ground beef or mince meat which are used for cooking a variety of meals. For steak lovers, when cooking your meat, you need to decide whether you want it medium rare or well done. Minced beef first showed up in 1834, on the menu at New York’s Delmonico Restaurant.

Minced beef is succulent beef that has been chopped into very fine, tender slices. You could boil the beef with a mixture of yellow onions, cucumbers, garlic and other aromatic spices. When minced beef soaks the taste and alluring aroma of seasoning, the kitchen and serving will come alive. You can slice fresh vegetables and hot spices, to impart a savoury aroma and taste.

When your beef chunks are mixed with a taste of fresh vegetables and blended into spices like paprika, the result is a culinary bomb shell. Aside from being highly portentous, beef comes with an array of vitamins and nutrients that can work miracles in your body. Some of the special nutrients you can get from beef include glutathione, L-carnitine, and heme-iron. The heme- iron is particularly essential as it is a potent blood builder. So whether you are eating a stew, a sauce, or a local soup variety, you can always buy a thick and chunky cut of beef to give yourself a treat.
