HEALTH & BENEFITS

Beef is a great source of protein and iron, which is important for healthy muscles and red blood cells.
The blackstrap molasses used in this recipe is rich in vitamins and minerals such as iron, magnesium, and calcium.
However, it should be consumed in moderation due to its high sugar content.
