1 piece (medium) of Beef steak with sauce (180 g) has 324 calories. That works out to 180 calories per 100 g. It contains 6.3 g of carbs, 39.6 g of protein, 16.2 g of fat and 0.4 g of fiber. Its 4 µg of B12 covers 165% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 35 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Beef steak with sauce is a cut of beef seared or grilled and served with a savoury sauce, often spooned over the top. It is not tied to one particular origin or recipe: the cut, sauce and cooking style vary, and the steak may be served pink in the middle with a browned crust.
It works as a hearty main course, commonly paired with potatoes, rice or vegetables; a simple salad makes a lighter accompaniment. The beef provides plenty of protein, at 22 g per 100 g, while the sauce contributes much of the dish’s variation in flavour and richness. For a lighter plate, use less sauce and add plenty of vegetables.

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.

To make beef steak with sauce, sear the steak in a hot pan, cook it to your preferred doneness, and let it rest while you prepare the sauce. Deglaze the pan with stock or wine to lift the browned bits and build a flavorful sauce.
Beef steak with sauce works well with tender cuts such as filet, ribeye, or sirloin. Filet is especially tender, while ribeye has more marbling and a richer flavor; choose an evenly thick steak so it cooks consistently.
Keep beef steak with sauce tender by avoiding overcooking and letting the steak rest before slicing. Cut across the grain, and add the sauce just before serving so the browned exterior does not sit and soften for too long.
Peppercorn, mushroom, red-wine, and pan gravy sauces all pair well with beef steak with sauce. A quick pan sauce made with the browned bits left after searing gives the dish a deeper beef flavor than simply pouring on a ready-made sauce.
A pink center in beef steak with sauce can be safe when the steak is a whole cut and its exterior has been properly seared. Ground beef is different: it should be cooked thoroughly throughout because bacteria can be mixed into the center.
Yes, a skillet is an excellent way to make beef steak with sauce. Heat the pan well, sear the steak without crowding it, then use the same pan to make the sauce from the browned residue and any juices left behind.
Beef steak with sauce pairs well with mashed potatoes, roasted potatoes, or rice, which can soak up the sauce. Green beans, asparagus, or a crisp salad add freshness and balance the richness of the beef.
Cooked beef steak with sauce keeps for 3–4 days in the refrigerator when stored promptly in a covered container. Store the steak with its sauce to help prevent it drying out, and reheat it until hot throughout.
Yes, you can freeze beef steak with sauce in an airtight, freezer-safe container. Freeze the steak with the sauce to help preserve its moisture, thaw it in the refrigerator, and reheat gently to avoid making the meat tough.
Marinating beef steak with sauce is optional; a simple seasoning can be enough for a good steak. If you do marinate it, use oil, garlic, and herbs, then pat the surface dry before searing so the meat browns instead of steaming.
