1 serving (medium) of Meat Dish (180 g) has 324 calories. That works out to 180 calories per 100 g. It contains 3.6 g of carbs, 36 g of protein, 19.8 g of fat and 0.9 g of fiber. Its 4 µg of B12 covers 165% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 5 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Meat Dish is a broad description rather than one fixed recipe: it refers to cooked meat served as a main course. The browned pieces and glossy juices shown here suggest a seared preparation, though the cut, type of meat and seasonings can vary widely. Around the world, meat dishes reflect local ingredients and cooking traditions, from simple pan-cooked portions to slow-cooked meals.
It is typically served hot, often with vegetables, grains, potatoes or bread, depending on the cuisine. The meat gives the dish a hearty, savoury character; it is protein-rich and relatively low in carbohydrates. For a lighter plate, pair it with plenty of vegetables or a fresh salad.

High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

Choose a cut suited to the cooking method: quick-cooking cuts need brief heat, while tougher cuts soften with slow, moist cooking. Keep the pot covered and simmer gently rather than boiling the meat hard.
A meat dish often turns tough when a naturally chewy cut is cooked quickly or at very high heat. For stew-type pieces, give the meat more time at a gentle simmer; slicing across the grain can also help when serving.
The best cut for a meat dish depends on how you plan to cook it. Tender cuts suit quick searing, while tougher, collagen-rich cuts are better for slow cooking; ask a butcher for a cut suited to your recipe.
Yes, browning the meat first adds a roasted, savory flavor to a meat dish. Sear it in batches so the pieces brown instead of steaming, then lower the heat and continue with the recipe.
Add liquid after browning the meat and scraping up the browned bits from the pan. Use only the amount the recipe needs; covering the meat completely can make a meat dish taste diluted rather than rich.
Serve a meat dish with a starch such as potatoes, rice, bread, or grains, plus vegetables or a crisp salad. If the dish has savory cooking juices, choose a side that can soak them up.
A cooked meat dish keeps for about three to four days in the refrigerator when promptly chilled and stored in a covered container. Reheat only the portion you plan to eat to avoid repeatedly warming the leftovers.
Yes, a cooked meat dish freezes well in a sealed, freezer-safe container. Divide it into meal-sized portions, thaw it in the refrigerator, and reheat until the meat and sauce are hot throughout.
Reheat a meat dish gently in a covered pan over low heat, adding a splash of water or broth if the juices have thickened. Stir occasionally and make sure the center is hot before serving.
A meat dish is not automatically unsafe just because the meat looks pink; color alone cannot confirm doneness. Check the center with a food thermometer and follow the safe cooking temperature for the specific type and cut of meat.
