To burn it off
Steak frites is a pan fried steak with a pile of fries next to it. It's the dish every bistro in France and every brasserie in Belgium has on the board, often with béarnaise or a pepper sauce.
A plate is 900 kcal, with 45 g of protein, 52 g of fat and 60 g of carbs. The steak brings the protein, the fries bring most of the carbs and a good share of the fat.
The sauce isn't in that number. In Belgium the fries come with mayonnaise, and one tablespoon of it adds 100 kcal.
Tips
- 1Swap half the fries for a green salad, most bistros will do it.
- 2Ask for the sauce on the side and dip, don't pour.
- 3Go for a leaner cut like bavette instead of a fatty entrecôte.
