A steak dinner has beef as the main attraction and vegetables such as potatoes, mushrooms, asparagus and bell peppers as side dishes. A steak dinner can be homemade or ordered in a restaurant. The main factors affecting the amount of calories in a steak dinner are serving size and how much butter is included in the recipe.

Considerations
Different cuts of beef are fattier and contain more calories. An 8 ounce New York Strip has 407 calories, an 8 ounce prime rib has 537 calories and a 9 ounce filet has 725 calories.
Warning
A serving size of meat is 3 ounces, according to the Cleveland Clinic. Steakhouses regularly serve dinners consisting of 14, 16 and even 20 ounces of steak. These pieces of steak have well over 1,000 calories and contain up to 37 grams of saturated fat.
