Sweetgreen Launches Caramelized Garlic Steak Nationwide, Expanding Its Protein Offerings

Securing its spot on Sweetgreen’s national menu, guests can enjoy tender cuts of grass-fed, pasture-raised steak in a new trio of fine dining-inspired dishes.

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sweetgreen (NYSE: SG), the nationally loved restaurant brand known for its craveable salads, plates and bowls, today announced the addition of Caramelized Garlic Steak to its menu, available nationwide. Starting May 7, guests can enjoy tender bites of steak in three new chef-crafted entrées or as an addition to any of Sweetgreen’s signature and custom dishes.

Developed in the Sweetgreen kitchen, the Caramelized Garlic Steak recipe features tender cuts of premium grass-fed, pasture-raised steak prepared with fine-dining techniques. To capture the savory flavor, the steak is seasoned with a garlic spice blend and roasted for a deep caramelized char on the outside and a juicy center on the inside. Finished in a gentle toss of extra virgin olive oil and herbs, every bite of Caramelized Garlic Steak is reminiscent of classic steakhouse flavors. Guests can enjoy three craveable entrées built around the delicious new protein, including:

• The Caramelized Garlic Steak protein plate — a hearty dish featuring wild rice, warm roasted sweet potatoes, spicy broccoli, tomatoes and pesto vinaigrette.
• The Steakhouse Chopped warm bowl — a filling entrée with chopped romaine, herbed quinoa, shredded cabbage, tomatoes, crispy onions, blue cheese and its signature green goddess ranch dressing.
• The Kale Caesar (Steak) salad — a new spin on an old favorite featuring classic caesar dressing with shredded kale, chopped romaine, tomatoes, shaved parmesan, crunchy parmesan crisps and a squeeze of lime.
