Ada Valley Choice Meats’ Braised Beef Cubed Steak, item #27800, isn’t just for dinner anymore. Sandra Roland, Nutrition Services Manager of Highland District Hospital in Hillsboro, Ohio, flexed this versatile, fully cooked, low sodium protein to her breakfast menu. Her Bagel Breakfast Sandwich has been a huge success. It can be quickly assembled, saving her time and labor as she efficiently preps them for her morning meal service. Her traditional version is just over 500 calories, 40 grams of protein, 46 grams of carbohydrates (3 exchanges), and 440 milligrams of sodium. For those requiring an even lower sodium cap, we recommend swapping the cheddar for Swiss cheese and an English muffin for a bagel. These simple swaps lower the calories by 15%, the carbohydrates by 33%, and the sodium by 40%. Our Low Sodium Braised Beef Cubed Steak, combined with Sandra’s creativity, equals a winning entree.
