High Iron Beef Cuts for Women in Victoria

Feeling constantly drained or lacking energy? Iron deficiency could be the silent culprit. For many women in Victoria, especially those of reproductive age, getting enough iron isn’t just a dietary preference; it’s a daily necessity. 

One of the most bioavailable sources of iron comes from beef, and when you choose the right cuts, you're fuelling your body with powerful nutrients, not just flavour.

Let’s break down the best iron-rich beef cuts for women and where to get them locally, delivered straight to your door from Carnivore Society.

Why Iron Matters for Women’s Health

Iron plays a central role in transporting oxygen through your blood. Without enough of it, you may feel fatigued, weak, or mentally foggy. For women, monthly blood loss through menstruation increases the risk of deficiency. Combine that with a fast-paced lifestyle, and it's no wonder many women in Victoria are falling short.

Iron is also crucial for maintaining energy levels, supporting immune function, and ensuring healthy brain development, especially during pregnancy. Women who follow plant-based diets or engage in high-intensity training are particularly vulnerable to low iron stores.

Signs of iron deficiency include shortness of breath, pale skin, brittle nails, and a lack of focus. Thankfully, including the right beef cuts in your meals can significantly boost your daily intake, especially when those cuts come from grass-fed, hormone-free Aussie cattle rich in heme iron, the most absorbable form of the mineral.

The Best Cuts from Carnivore Society for Iron Boosting

Carnivore Society offers a premium range of iron-rich beef, all sourced from 100% grass-fed Aussie cattle and delivered across Victoria. These aren’t your average supermarket cuts, they’re ethically raised, hormone-free, and packed with nutrients:

1. Grass-Fed Chuck Roll

This cut is a powerhouse for both iron and flavour. Each 100g serve delivers around 3mg of iron, along with zinc, selenium, and collagen-rich connective tissue. Ideal for slow-cooked dishes like stews, casseroles, or pulled beef, chuck roll becomes incredibly tender when braised. 

Carnivore Society offers the premium Cape Grim Chuck Roll, sourced from pasture-raised, hormone- and antibiotic-free cattle in Tasmania. Sold in bulk vacuum-sealed portions of approximately 18-27kg, it’s richly marbled and perfect for braising, smoking, or even slicing into steaks. 

The collagen it contains may also support gut lining integrity and joint function, making it a perfect comfort food for active women or those with digestive issues.

2. Grass-fed Beef Mince

Carnivore Society’s mince is anything but ordinary. It is crafted from a rich blend of chuck and brisket giving it more flavour and a higher iron content than standard supermarket mince. 

Each 100 g serve delivers around 2.6 mg of iron making it perfect for daily use in bolognese tacos chilli con carne or shepherds pie. It is also rich in vitamin B12 and protein supporting energy production and muscle maintenance.

Carnivore Society currently sells Tara Valley Beef Mince as well as their own Grass‑Fed Beef Mince 10 kg (90 cl), both 100 percent grass‑fed, ethically raised in Australia, lean yet flavourful, and vacuum‑sealed for freshness. 

3. Beef Liver

Often called “nature’s multivitamin,” Carnivore Society’s beef liver is one of the most concentrated sources of heme iron available, boasting 6.5mg of iron per 100g. It also contains high amounts of vitamin A, folate, copper, and B-complex vitamins, supporting immunity, skin health, and red blood cell production. 

Quick to cook and incredibly nutrient-dense, it’s perfect for women dealing with fatigue, iron deficiency, or hormonal imbalance. Try it sautéed with garlic and lemon or blended into a rich pate.

4. Scotch Fillet

For those who want a luxurious, nutrient packed meal, Scotch fillet ticks every box. With an average of 2.9 mg of iron per 100 g, this marbled cut offers tenderness, succulence, and serious nutritional value. It is ideal for grilling, pan searing, or even reverse searing in the oven. Rich in omega 3s, CLA, and B vitamins, Carnivore Society’s grass fed Scotch fillet is a delicious way to boost iron intake without sacrificing indulgence.

In addition, Carnivore Society also stocks an impressive range of Scotch Cube Roll variants which are essentially chuck roll cuts that complement the Scotch fillet beautifully. 

These include Teys Scotch Cube Roll MB2.5+, Southern Ranges Scotch Cube Roll MB4+, Greenham A Scotch Cube Roll MB2+, Bass Strait Cube Roll, Cape Grim Scotch Cube Roll, WX9 Rangers Valley Scotch Cube Roll MB9+, Infinite Rangers Valley Full Blood Wagyu Scotch Cube Roll MB9+, and Sher Wagyu Scotch Cube Roll MB8+. 

These robust and richly marbled chuck roll options are perfect for slow roasting, stewing, or slicing into thick steaks, bringing hearty depth and extra iron to your meals.

5. Eye Fillet

Incredibly tender and remarkably lean, eye fillet stands as the pinnacle of refined steak cuts, perfect for women seeking high-iron, low-fat protein. It delivers approximately 2.5-3 mg of iron per 100 g, alongside B vitamins and high-quality protein essential for energy, immunity, and muscle integrity. 

Carnivore Society features three standout variations: Teys Organic Eye Fillet Tenderloin (100% grass-fed and certified organic at around  $38/kg), Tara Valley Eye Fillet (grass-fed, approx. $45–59/kg), and Southern Ranges Eye Fillet Tenderloin MB2+ (premium grass-fed, approx. $65/kg). 

These cuts arrive vacuum-sealed and chilled, ensuring peak freshness. Ideal for lean and nutritious meals, they maintain their silky texture when gently pan-seared or oven-roasted. For women in Victoria focused on iron intake, eye fillet offers a luxurious yet practical way to combine elegance, nutrition, and rich flavour in every bite.

Cooking Tips to Maximise Iron Absorption

Even the best beef won’t help if your body can’t absorb the iron properly. The good news? A few simple tweaks to your cooking and eating habits can make a big difference. Here’s how to make every bite count:

• Add Vitamin C: Pair your beef with capsicum, broccoli, tomatoes, or a squeeze of lemon juice. Vitamin C significantly enhances the absorption of heme and non-heme iron alike.
  
• Avoid Tea & Coffee With Meals: Tannins in these drinks can reduce iron absorption by up to 70%. Enjoy them at least an hour before or after your iron-rich meal.
  
• Go Easy on the Heat: Overcooking liver or steak can deplete heat-sensitive nutrients like B12 and folate. Aim for medium-rare to medium where possible.
  
• Try Quick & Easy Combos: Beef liver stir-fried with garlic and spinach, or chuck steak slow-cooked with pumpkin and root vegetables, deliver both iron and vitamin-rich support.
  
• Cook in Cast Iron Pans: Believe it or not, cooking acidic foods (like tomatoes) in cast iron cookware can boost the iron content of your meal.
  
• Avoid High-Calcium Pairings: Dairy products can interfere with iron absorption. If you're having milk or cheese, keep them separate from your beef-based meals.
  
• Use Fresh Herbs & Spices: Ginger, turmeric, and garlic may support digestion and gut health, which in turn helps your body absorb nutrients more effectively.
  
• Include Fermented Foods: A healthy gut supports nutrient uptake. Add a spoon of sauerkraut or kimchi on the side to encourage better digestion and absorption.

Real-Life Iron-Boosting Meal Ideas

Need ideas for how to put all this into practice? Here are a few easy meals using Carnivore Society cuts:

• Beef Liver Stir-Fry: Sauté liver slices with red onion, capsicum, and garlic in olive oil. Finish with fresh lemon juice for vitamin C and serve with brown rice.
  
• Slow-Cooked Chuck & Pumpkin Stew: Use Carnivore Society’s chuck steak, pumpkin, carrots, and bone broth for an iron-rich, comforting winter meal.
  
• Scotch Fillet with Grilled Capsicum & Rocket: A simple steak dinner elevated with grilled red capsicum and a handful of fresh greens tossed in lemon vinaigrette.
  
• Beef Mince Chilli Con Carne: High-protein mince with kidney beans, crushed tomatoes, and spices. Serve with lime wedges and avocado for a balanced, iron-friendly bowl.
