Panera Bread Marinated Steak
This steak is high, driven by the beef broth concentrate in its seasoning.
Food here is usually assembled to order from components that were prepped earlier in the day, so it tends to be fresher than a drive-through and less fresh than cooking at home. Histamine builds up as protein foods sit, so how long the chicken or beef has been in the warmer matters as much as what is in the bowl. Treat the rating above as a starting point.
It is beef rib blade meat cooked with canola oil, corn starch, onion and garlic seasonings, and beef broth concentrate.
-
Beef broth concentrate — concentrated, long-simmered beef broth runs high in histamine, and it is the standout driver that lifts this whole item up.
-
The beef itself — the meat and the oil and starch around it are milder, so it is really the broth concentrate in the seasoning setting the level.
A freshly cooked plain protein without a concentrated broth marinade would be a gentler pick.
