Huh. "Assumed" nothing! According to the FDA:
Beef, flank, separable lean and fat, trimmed to 0" fat, choice, raw
NDB No: 13065
Vitamin C, ascorbic acid: 0.000 mg per 100 grams of edible portion
Clearly this is not right; I suspect inadequate assay methods or
somebody somewhere cutting corners in analysis budgets.
