Ingredients
- Steak (typically Sirloin or Filet Mignon): Bonefish Grill typically pairs a steak with the crab cake, and the choice of steak is usually a sirloin or filet mignon. The steak is seasoned with salt and pepper and cooked to your preferred doneness. The steak is often grilled, providing a flavorful, charred exterior while maintaining a tender, juicy interior.
- Crab Cake: The crab cake is made primarily from lump crab meat, which is known for its sweet, delicate flavor and firm texture. The crab meat is mixed with breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, seasonings like Old Bay, parsley, and sometimes a bit of egg to help bind the ingredients together. The mixture is then shaped into cakes and sautéed or baked until golden brown and crispy on the outside while maintaining its moist, flavorful crab filling on the inside.
- Lemon Butter Sauce (optional): The dish is often served with a lemon butter sauce that enhances the flavors of both the steak and the crab cake. The sauce is made from butter, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs. This sauce adds richness and complements the sweetness of the crab meat and the savory beef.

Allergens
- Shellfish: The crab cake contains crab meat, which is a type of shellfish. This dish is not suitable for individuals with a shellfish allergy.
- Dairy: The crab cake and the lemon butter sauce both contain butter, which makes this dish unsuitable for individuals with dairy allergies or lactose intolerance.
- Gluten: The crab cake is typically made with breadcrumbs, so it contains gluten. If you need a gluten-free option, you can ask if a gluten-free crab cake can be made or if there are gluten-free alternatives. Additionally, some sides may contain gluten, so be sure to inquire about those as well.
- Egg: Crab cakes often contain eggs as a binding agent, so this dish is not suitable for individuals with egg allergies.
- Soy: Some marinades or sauces may contain soy-based ingredients, so ask the server if you have a soy allergy.
Recommendations
- For a lighter option: To make the meal lighter, you can ask for the crab cake to be grilled or broiled instead of fried. Additionally, request the lemon butter sauce on the side, or opt for a lighter sauce such as a garlic herb butter or lemon vinaigrette for a more refreshing option. Pair the dish with a lighter side such as steamed asparagus, seasonal vegetables, or a house salad.
- For a richer indulgence: If you prefer a more indulgent meal, enjoy the full lemon butter sauce and pair the steak and crab cake with heartier sides like garlic mashed potatoes, crispy Brussels sprouts, or mac and cheese for a filling and satisfying meal.
- Wine Pairing: For the sirloin steak, a Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot pairs well with the beef, as the bold tannins and dark fruit flavors complement the savory, grilled steak. For the crab cake, a Chardonnay would complement the sweet, delicate crab flavor, with its buttery texture enhancing the richness of the dish. If you prefer something lighter, a Sauvignon Blanc is a crisp, refreshing alternative.
- For a gluten-free option: Since the crab cakes typically contain breadcrumbs, this dish may not be suitable for those following a gluten-free diet unless a gluten-free version of the crab cake is available. It’s best to ask your server if gluten-free options are offered for the crab cake or if a different type of seafood can be substituted.
- For heart-healthy benefits: While this dish is rich in protein and provides omega-3 fatty acids from the crab, it can also be high in saturated fat due to the butter in the crab cake and sauce. To make it more heart-healthy, consider grilling or broiling the crab cake without butter, choosing a lighter sauce, and pairing it with healthier sides like steamed vegetables or a side salad.
