What causes the difference

The portion size is the same, but the ingredients and preparation differ.

Meat: Beef tenderloin → Beef ribeyeMeat: grilled → deep-friedSauce: + Bearnaise
  • The cut decides first: grilled tenderloin runs ~211 kcal/100g while well-marbled ribeye is ~274 before it even hits the pan.
  • Pan-frying in fat adds another layer on top of the marbling, where grilling lets fat drip away.
  • A tablespoon of bearnaise — essentially warm butter and egg yolk — adds ~80 kcal to the plate.
