Spiervlees, commonly translated as muscle meat, refers to the edible flesh of an animal, primarily composed of striated muscle tissue. It is a staple food source for humans across many cultures and a significant component of the global food industry. The texture and flavor of spiervlees can vary widely depending on the animal species, the specific cut of meat, and the animal's diet and age.

Nutritionally, spiervlees is a rich source of protein, essential amino acids, B vitamins, and minerals such as iron and zinc. The fat content can also vary significantly, with some cuts being lean and others more marbled. Preparation methods for spiervlees are diverse, ranging from grilling, roasting, and frying to stewing and braising, each method influencing the final taste and tenderness. Different parts of an animal's musculature are often designated for specific culinary purposes due to their unique characteristics. For instance, muscles used frequently for locomotion tend to be tougher and are often best suited for slow-cooking.
