Nutrition Facts:

🥩 Filet Mignon + Crab

Protein Power Duo: Between the grass-fed filet and wild-caught crab, you’re getting a high-quality protein boost — around 40–50g of protein per serving, supporting muscle repair, metabolism, and satiety.

Omega-3s in Disguise: Crab is a sneaky source of omega-3fatty acids, great for your brain, heart, and happy mood.

B12 Bonanza: Both filet and crab are rich in vitamin B12, essential for energy production and nervous system health. (Basically, your mitochondria are doing a happy dance.)

Zinc & Iron Tag Team: Iron from beef supports red blood cells, and zinc from crab helps your immune system stay on its A-game.

🧈 Quick Béarnaise Sauce

Healthy Fat Hero: Ghee (or grass-fed butter) provides butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid that supports gut lining health and reduces inflammation.

Egg Yolks = Brain Fuel: Yolks are rich in choline, which helps with memory, learning, and cell structure.

Tarragon Twist: Tarragon is surprisingly high in antioxidants and may help regulate blood sugar and digestion — plus it makes your sauce taste like you trained in Paris.

🌿 Caprese Asparagus Side

Asparagus = Gut MVP: A natural source of inulin, asparagus feeds your beneficial gut bacteria and supports digestion.

Tomatoes Bring the Glow: Rich in lycopene, tomatoes support skin health and reduce oxidative stress — especially when roasted.

Mozzarella = Calcium & Satiety: Even a small amount of fresh mozzarella adds creaminess, calcium, and protein to balance your plate.

Balsamic Glaze Bonus: A drizzle adds flavor with fewer than20 calories, and vinegar may help with blood sugar control after meals.
