How can I eat healthy at a steakhouse?

4/17/2018

0 Comments

 
 When dining with a group of friends or family, sometimes we don’t have a choice of the restaurant and creativity is key. Being mostly vegan, I prefer to eat plant-based meals when going out and with experience I learned how to order a healthy meal even at a steakhouse. In this blog I will share my favorite choices that can help you healthy while going out. Use these guidelines to create your own healthy meal at any other steakhouse around the country. You will be surprised how easy it can be to eat at the meat-eaters paradise!
NEW YORK PRIME and MORTON’S
When eating here, I would begin with either the New York Prime's Chopped Italian Salad without anchovies and blue cheese or at Morton’s you can get their chopped salad without the cheese or bacon. For the entrée you can create your own main course of steamed garlic spinach, asparagus (sans the hollandaise) and a plain baked potato, drizzled with olive oil and a little bit of salt. The salad will provide you with a plethora of vitamins and enzymes to boost your energy and your immune system. Spinach will love your body with a good doze of iron, asparagus will help detoxify your system and baked potato will keep you full as it is high in fiber.
 
 
 
ABE AND LOUIE’S
Here I would recommend the Abe & Louie’s Salad that features bibb lettuce, apples and pistachio nuts and I usually ask to hold the cheese and place the dressing on the side. This is one of the most interesting salads I have seen at steakhouse and it is pretty nutritious as lettuce is high in blood-purifying chlorophyll, apples are rich in fat-reducing pectin and pistachios are known to be the highest-protein and lowest-calorie nut. For my entrée, I would go with a Cauliflower Steak, Jumbo Baked Sweet Potato (without the brown sugar) and Brussels sprouts. Cauliflower is a great low-calorie vegetable that is high in fiber and low in starch. Sweet potatoes are rich in bloat-reducing potassium and Brussels sprouts are a part of cruciferous family of vegetables that help detoxify your liver.
 
 
BOA STEAK HOUSE
It was a complete shock to me to find that this steak house actually has a Vegan Menu! Here you can find a Beyond Meat burger with mushrooms, Pasta Bolognese and Butternut Squash-stuffed Cabbage. Yes, please! Other great veggie options are Beet Poke that has the same seasoning as a traditional favorite and Smashed Broccoli that tastes similar to mashed potatoes. I also like to get their Bamboo Steamed Veggies and Sautéed Mushrooms. Together they create a hearty and satisfying meal.

What are your favorite healthy dishes at steak houses in your area?
