HEALTH & BENEFITS

Beef is a good source of protein and contains important vitamins and minerals such as iron, zinc, and vitamin B12.
Prosciutto is high in protein and low in carbohydrates, making it a good choice for those watching their carb intake.
However, this recipe may not be the healthiest due to the use of prosciutto and beef stock, which can be high in sodium.
