Cactus Club Signature Steaks Calories and Nutrition Facts
The nutrition of a steak dinner depends on more than the cut of beef. Fries, mashed potatoes, butter, creamy sauces, prawns and other toppings can add a significant amount of calories, fat, carbohydrates and sodium to the finished meal.
Cactus Club's published nutrition guide lists an 8 oz sirloin on its own at approximately 330 calories and 47 g of protein. By comparison, an 8 oz sirloin served with brandy peppercorn sauce, vegetables and potatoes is listed at approximately 970 calories and 61 g of protein. This shows how sides and sauces can substantially change the nutrition of the complete plate.
For dishes without a directly named complete-meal entry in the nutrition guide, the estimates below are calculated from the individual steak, side and sauce components published by Cactus Club.

Which Cactus Club Signature Steak Should You Choose?
For a Classic Steak Dinner
Steak Frites keeps the combination familiar with sirloin, crispy sea salted fries, kale salad and horseradish cream. It is a good place to start if you prefer a simple steak-and-fries meal.
For Surf & Turf
Creole Steak & Prawns combines beef and seafood with Cajun spices, Creole butter and white wine sautéed prawns for the boldest surf-and-turf option of the four.
For Mushroom Lovers
Steak & Mushrooms combines grilled oyster and button mushrooms with red wine jus, mashed potatoes and vegetables for an earthy, savoury steak dinner.
For a Rich Sauce
Peppercorn Steak is the strongest choice if the sauce is as important to you as the steak. Brandy peppercorn sauce provides a creamy, peppery and savoury finish.
For Bold Spice
Creole Steak & Prawns brings the most noticeable spice through Cajun seasoning and spicy Creole butter without turning the dish into an extremely hot meal.
For Something More Traditional
Peppercorn Steak pairs beef with mashed potatoes, vegetables and a classic steakhouse-style peppercorn sauce, making it one of the most traditional combinations.
How Would You Like Your Steak Cooked?
Rare
Rare steak has a cool-to-warm red centre and a strongly seared exterior. It retains plenty of moisture and has a very soft texture.
Medium Rare
Medium rare has a warm red centre with a browned exterior. It is a popular choice because it balances tenderness, juiciness and the flavour created by searing.
Medium
A medium steak has a warm pink centre and firmer texture while still retaining some juiciness.
Medium Well
Medium well is mostly cooked through with only a small amount of pink remaining in the centre.
Well Done
Well-done steak is cooked throughout with little or no pink remaining and has a firmer texture than lower levels of doneness.
Not Sure?
Medium rare or medium are common starting points if you want a balance between a seared exterior and a tender, juicy centre.
Best Sauces and Sides With Cactus Club Steak

Mushroom & Red Wine Jus
Mushrooms add earthy depth while red wine jus brings richness and acidity, making this a classic pairing for steak.

Horseradish Cream
Horseradish provides sharpness that cuts through rich beef and fried potatoes, making it especially suitable for Steak Frites.
Buttered Mashed Potatoes

Seasonal Vegetables
Vegetables add freshness and balance beside rich steak, buttery sauces and mashed potatoes.
