Recommendations
Great for those who enjoy bold flavors**: The Black Pepper Sirloin Steak has a rich, savory flavor with a peppery kick, making it an excellent option for people who enjoy dishes with more intense seasoning.
Pair with a side of vegetables or rice: To balance the richness of the steak and sauce, consider pairing it with a side of steamed rice or Chow Mein. A side of vegetables, like the Super Greens or Mixed Vegetables, can also complement the dish and add a nutritional boost.
High in sodium: The Black Pepper Sirloin Steak has a relatively high sodium content, so if you’re watching your sodium intake, it might be best to consume this dish in moderation or pair it with a lighter option.
Good source of protein: With 24 grams of protein per serving, this dish is a solid choice for anyone looking to add more protein to their meal.
For those avoiding gluten: If you need a gluten-free option, ask if the soy sauce used in the preparation can be substituted with gluten-free tamari or other gluten-free soy sauce alternatives.
Not ideal for those on low-fat or low-cholesterol diets: The dish is somewhat high in fat and saturated fat, so those on restrictive diets may want to opt for something lighter, such as Grilled Teriyaki Chicken or Eggplant Tofu.
