2. IRON, IRON, IRON! It's full of it.
Not only is it iron-rich, but iron in red meat is also more easily absorbed by the body.

Steak is incredibly rich in other nutrients that our bodies need to function, like Creatine and Carnosine which help our muscles and brains to function. Carnosine is a dipeptide molecule, made up of the amino acids, beta-alanine and histidine. In english - It's the good stuff. Who doesn't want to be muscly and smart?
