What to Order at Outback Steakhouse for High Cholesterol

Outback is very manageable for a heart-smart meal: pick a lean cut or the grilled seafood, choose vegetable sides, and skip the famous fried onion. Portion control does the rest.

What to look for

The traps are the fried Bloomin' Onion, fatty cuts, buttery/cheesy sides, and creamy dressings. Lean on leaner steaks, grilled chicken, and grilled seafood, with steamed veggies.

Heart-smart picks

• Grilled salmon or grilled shrimp — heart-friendly seafood.

• A leaner sirloin, smaller size, trimmed, with a vegetable side.

• Perfectly Grilled Chicken with steamed broccoli or a side salad.

• Steamed veggies or a house salad (dressing on the side) instead of loaded potatoes.

Solid runners-up

• Grilled chicken salad, dressing on the side.

• A smaller steak + double veggie combo.

What to skip

• Bloomin' Onion and fried appetizers — the classic saturated-fat/sodium bomb.

• Fatty, oversized cuts (large prime rib, heavily marbled ribeye).

• Loaded baked potatoes, cheese fries, and creamy dressings poured on.

Quick tips

Grilled seafood or a lean, smaller steak, two vegetable sides, dressing on the side, and skip the fried onion. That's a genuinely heart-smart steakhouse meal.
