Health Facts – Good & Bad
Health Benefits (Good):
- High in protein: Ribeye provides essential amino acids for muscle repair, energy, and satiety.
- Rich in iron: Supports oxygen transport in the blood, preventing fatigue and iron-deficiency anemia.
- Vitamin B12 and Zinc: Important for immune support, nerve function, and red blood cell formation.
- Healthy fats: Olive oil in the marinade adds heart-healthy monounsaturated fats.
- Homemade marinade: You avoid preservatives, additives, and excessive sugar commonly found in store-bought sauces.
Things to Watch (Bad):
- High in saturated fat: Ribeye is a fattier cut of beef, which, when consumed in excess, can contribute to high cholesterol.
- Sodium: The use of soy sauce, steak sauce, and seasoning may increase sodium intake—use reduced-sodium options if you’re watching salt.
- Grilling caution: Cooking meat over very high heat or until charred can produce compounds (HCAs and PAHs) linked to health concerns. Avoid excessive charring.
Tips for a Healthier Experience:
- Pair with steamed or grilled vegetables instead of carb-heavy sides.
- Use a leaner cut (like sirloin) if you want less fat while maintaining flavor.
- Limit added salt and rely more on herbs or garlic for extra flavor.
- Serve with a fresh garden salad with a light vinaigrette to balance the meal.
