What causes the difference

In these two examples, the changes are: meat — beef tenderloin → beef ribeye, sauce — added: bearnaise, cooking method — grilled → deep-fried.

Meat: Beef tenderloin → Beef ribeyeMeat: grilled → Deep-friedSauce: + Bearnaise
  • The cut makes the first difference: the grilled tenderloin shown provides about 211 kcal per 100 g, while the well-marbled ribeye provides about 274 before added cooking fat.
  • Pan-frying adds cooking fat. Grilling allows some fat to drip away.
  • A tablespoon of bearnaise — essentially warm butter and egg yolk — adds ~80 kcal to the plate.
