LongHorn Fire-Grilled T-Bone Signature Bone-In Steak
The LongHorn Fire-Grilled T-Bone* is an 18 oz bone-in steak cut from the short loin of the cow. What makes it genuinely special is the T-shaped bone that runs through the middle. That bone divides the steak into two completely different eating experiences on a single plate. On the larger side of the bone sits the New York Strip, firm, bold, and packed with that assertive beefy flavor that strip lovers crave. On the smaller side of the bone sits the Filet Mignon, delicate, buttery, and almost impossibly tender. Two cuts. One bone. Every Fire-Grilled T-Bone is made from USDA Choice beef, fresh and never frozen, and cooked over an open flame by a certified LongHorn Grill Master.
The Cut: Two Premium Steaks Separated by One BoneLongHorn Fire-Grilled T-Bone* Calories
The T-Bone and Porterhouse both come from the short loin primal just different positions. The T-Bone is cut from the front where the tenderloin is smaller. The Porterhouse is cut further back where it is larger more filet, more weight, higher price. Same strip side, same bone, just a bigger filet portion.
On the LongHorn Fire-Grilled T-Bone, you get approximately 12 to 13 oz of strip and 5 to 6 oz of filet. Start bold on the strip side and save the tender filet bites near the bone for last.
Why the Bone Makes This Steak Better?
Most people think the bone is just for presentation. It is not. The bone insulates the meat during cooking, distributing heat more evenly and preventing the areas closest to the bone from overcooking. The fat and marrow near the bone also contribute flavor compounds to the surrounding meat as it cooks over the open flame. This is why the meat right next to the bone is always the most flavorful bite on a T-Bone. The Maillard reaction from the fire grill creates a proper seared, smoky crust on the outside while the bone protects the interior. The result is a steak that has more textural contrast and more flavor depth than any boneless cut of the same weight.
LongHorn Fire-Grilled T-Bone Calories

Verified across FatSecret, CalorieKing, MyNetDiary, and fastfoodnutrition.org. The T-Bone sits between the Ribeye (810 cal) and the Outlaw Ribeye (1,250 cal) on the calorie range. It is a hearty steak, but the calorie count reflects the bone-in size and the fat distribution across two different muscle types.

Fire-Grilled T-Bone Nutritional Breakdown
Here is the complete nutrition profile for LongHorn Fire-Grilled T-Bone 18 oz without sides, verified across FatSecret, CalorieKing, fastfoodnutrition.org, and Carb Manager
| Nutrient | 18 oz Portion | Key Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Calories | 1,130 | Steak only – no sides or sauces |
| Protein | ~90g | High – from both strip and filet muscles |
| Total Fat | ~62g | High – strip side carries most of the fat |
| Saturated Fat | ~25g | Consistent with bone-in T-Bone cut |
| Carbohydrates | ~1g | From seasoning blend |
| Net Carbs | 0g | Zero net carbs |
| Fiber | 0g | None |
| Sugars | 0g | None |
| Sodium | ~1,540mg | HIGH – ~67% of daily recommended intake |
| Cholesterol | ~290mg | High – consistent with 18 oz bone-in beef |
SODIUM WARNING: At approximately 1,540mg of sodium, the Fire-Grilled T-Bone delivers about 67 percent of the
daily recommended sodium intake from the steak alone. If you are managing blood pressure or sodium intake, choose
sides carefully. Steamed Broccoli (low sodium), Fresh Steamed Asparagus (low sodium), and Mixed Greens Salad with
vinaigrette are the smartest choices. Avoid French Onion Soup, Loaded Potato Soup, and Shrimp & Lobster Chowder
alongside this steak — those soups add 380 to 480 more calories and significant additional sodium
Strip Side vs Filet Side: Two Different Nutrition Profiles
| T-Bone Section | Cut | Fat Level | Protein Per Cal | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| New York Strip Side | Larger portion | Higher — heavy marbling | Moderate | Bold, rich, beefy flavor |
| Filet Mignon Side | Smaller portion | Lower — very lean tenderloin | Higher — cleaner profile | Tender, lean, most delicate bite |
| T-Bone Combined | 18 oz total | Balanced — weighted average | 1,130 cal total | More balanced than 18 oz ribeye |
Fire-Grilled T-Bone Keto Compatibility & Macros
Here’s the thing about going keto with this steak: it actually works, but there’s one catch you need to know about.
The Fire-Grilled T-Bone is fully keto-compatible roughly 1g net carbs, 90g protein, and 62g fat. The one thing to watch is sodium: the steak alone carries ~1,540mg before any sides are added. Pair with Steamed Broccoli and Mixed Greens Salad without croutons and skip the soups entirely.
Allergen & Ingredient
Before you order, here is what you need to know. LongHorn kitchens are not allergen-free environments. Cross-contact with common allergens is possible during normal kitchen operations. Always inform your server and speak directly with the manager if the allergy is severe.
| Name of Item | Ingredients / Allergens |
|---|---|
| Fire-Grilled T-Bone* (steak only) | Beef (short loin, bone-in) with LongHorn signature seasoning blend. May contain soy from seasoning or oil. |
| Salads |
Caesar Salad: dairy, eggs, fish (anchovy in dressing), gluten from croutons. Mixed Green Salad: allergens depend on toppings selected. |
| Premium Sides |
Steakhouse Mac & Cheese: dairy and wheat/gluten. Crispy Brussels Sprouts: soy and dairy. |
| Soups |
Shrimp & Lobster Chowder: shellfish and dairy. Loaded Potato Soup: dairy and wheat. French Onion Soup: gluten. |
Gluten Sensitivity & Allergen Notes for the Fire-Grilled T-Bone
The LongHorn Fire-Grilled T-Bone is listed as Gluten Sensitive, meaning it contains no gluten-based ingredients, but it’s not certified gluten-free. Cross-contact is possible since LongHorn kitchens handle gluten regularly. Guests with celiac disease should speak directly with the manager before ordering. It may also contain dairy from finishing butter, so request dry grill preparation if needed. Check the nutritional breakdown above for full allergen details.
Allergens in Sides, Soups & Salads
The steak itself is relatively clean on allergens. The sides are where complexity enters. Caesar Salad contains dairy, eggs, fish (anchovy), and gluten from croutons. Steakhouse Mac & Cheese contains dairy and wheat. French Onion Soup contains gluten and dairy and also adds significant sodium on top of the already high T-Bone sodium level.
Safest sides for allergy conscious diners:
- Steamed Broccoli
- Fresh Steamed Asparagus
- Mixed Greens
- Salad with vinaigrette.
Cooking Temperatures for Fire-Grilled T-Bone
LongHorn Steakhouse allows guests to choose their exact doneness for the Fire-Grilled T-Bone.This is the most technically complex steak to order correctly on the entire menu because the strip side and the filet side have different ideal temperatures.
| Doneness | Internal Temp | Strip Side Result | Filet Side Result | Best for T-Bone? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rare | 120–125°F | Cool red, fat not rendering | Cool red, very soft | Not recommended |
| Medium Rare | 130–135°F | Warm red, marbling melting | Warm red, buttery tender | ⭐ Best Choice |
| Medium | 140–145°F | Pink, juicy, firm | Pink, still tender | ⭐ Great Choice |
| Medium Well | 150–155°F | Slight pink, firmer | Noticeably firmer | Acceptable |
| Well Done | 160°F+ | No pink, tough | Dry, loses tenderness | Not recommended |
Temperature Chart: Rare to Well Done
For the LongHorn Fire-Grilled T-Bone, Medium Rare (130-135°F) is the universally recommended doneness. The strip side needs heat to render its marbling for a juicy, beefy bite, while the filet side needs to stay pink to preserve its natural buttery tenderness. Medium Rare hits both targets at once.
Push past medium and the tenderloin muscle on the filet side loses moisture fast, the same reason no steak professional ever recommends filet mignon well done. Since the filet is the more delicate of the two cuts, let it dictate your doneness every time.
Why Medium Rare Is Best for T-Bone Steak
Let me explain why this steak demands medium rare more than almost any other cut on the menu.You have two muscles with fundamentally different fat structures cooking simultaneously over thesame flame.
The strip side carries intramuscular fat that needs heat to render. At medium rare, that fat starts melting into the muscle, producing the juicy, beefy bite the strip is known for. The filet side, on the other hand, has almost no intramuscular fat, its tenderness comes purely from the tenderloin’s muscle fiber structure. Heat is the enemy here: the longer it cooks, the more those fibers tighten up.
At medium rare, both sides hit their sweet spot at once. The Maillard reaction from the open flame builds a proper seared crust outside, while the strip delivers bold beefy satisfaction and the filet stays buttery and melt-in-your-mouth. LongHorn’s Legendary Grill training program trains every Grill Master specifically to nail this exact balance.
The Expert T-Bone Ordering Hack:
When your T-Bone arrives at the table, experienced steak diners always start on the strip side and work toward the bone, saving the filet bites for last. The strip side is bold and assertive. It can handle being eaten first when your palate is fresh and hungry. The filet side is subtle and delicate. Eating it last, when you have more patience and appreciation for nuance, lets you fully enjoy the contrast. Many LongHorn regulars describe the filet bites at the end of a T-Bone as the best bites of the entire meal.
Side Dish Options for LongHorn Steakhouse Fire-Grilled T-Bone
Every Fire-Grilled T-Bone order includes one side dish and one salad choice. Premium upgrades are available for $3.99 each. Given the high sodium content of this steak, side selection matters more here than with any other LongHorn cut.
Included Side Choices
- Steamed Broccoli (90 cal) best choice for sodium management; low calorie, light, lets the steak remain the star
- Loaded Baked Potato (290 cal) hearty and satisfying; adds dairy and additional sodium so combine carefully
- Mashed Potatoes (340 cal) buttery and smooth; good comfort pairing with the rich T-Bone
- Seasoned Fries (500 cal) casual and satisfying; note these add more sodium to an already sodium-heavy plate
- Seasoned Rice Pilaf (230 cal) lighter grain option, lower sodium than potato sides
- Sweet Potato (380 cal) natural sweetness contrasts nicely with the bold char grill flavor
Premium Add-Ons ($3.99 Each)
Upgrade your Fire-Grilled T-Bone meal with these popular premium sides:
- Fire-Grilled Corn on the Cob (200 cal) smoky sweetness that echoes the char grill character of the T-Bone
- Steakhouse Mac & Cheese (610 cal) indulgent comfort upgrade; watch sodium if combining with this steak
- Crispy Brussels Sprouts (310 cal) crunchy, savory contrast; one of LongHorn’s most ordered sides
- Fresh Steamed Asparagus (130 cal) best premium upgrade; light, acidic, low sodium, keto-friendly
- Strawberry & Pecan Side Salad (190 cal) sweet and refreshing palate cleanser between bites
Best Side Pairings with Reasoning
Best overall: Crispy Brussels Sprouts plus Caesar Salad. The crunchy, savory contrast cuts
through the richness of both the strip and filet sides perfectly.
Best for sodium management: Steamed Broccoli or Fresh Steamed Asparagus plus Mixed
Greens Salad. Both are low-sodium and keep the total plate balanced against the T-Bone’s high
sodium level.
Best indulgent plate: Loaded Baked Potato plus Steakhouse Mac & Cheese. Full comfort mode —
just be aware this pushes the total meal well past 2,000 calories.
Best keto plate: Steamed Broccoli or Asparagus plus Mixed Greens without croutons. Keeps carbs
near zero and balances the sodium load.
Soup & Salad Options
Guests ordering Fire-Grilled T-Bone can add soups and salads to complete the meal. Given the high sodium content of this steak, soup selection matters more here than with lighter cuts.
Soup Choices ($2.99 Each)
- Loaded Potato Soup (380 cal) creamy and hearty; note this adds significant sodium on top of the T-Bone’s already high level
- Shrimp & Lobster Chowder (250 cal ) lower calorie option; adds shellfish and dairy worth considering for a surf-and-turf feel
- French Onion Soup (480 cal) rich and meaty; delicious pairing but adds the most additional sodium of the three option.
Salad Choices ($3.99 Each)
- Mixed Green Salad (140 cal) lightest and lowest-sodium option; best for balancing the T-Bone plate
- Caesar Salad (250 cal) classic pairing; contains dairy, eggs, fish (anchovy), and gluten from croutons
- Strawberry & Pecan Salad (190 cal) fresh and slightly sweet; the most interesting flavor contrast against the smoky T-Bone.
Recommended Pairings
For a more complete steakhouse experience, many guests enjoy pairing Fire-Grilled T-Bone with popular appetizers and desserts at LongHorn Steakhouse.
- Wild West Shrimp® ($12.99) bold, spicy, crispy starter that builds appetite before the massive T-Bone arrives; the contrasting seafood flavor works well
- White Cheddar Stuffed Mushrooms ($11.49) earthy and cheesy; lighter starter that does not compete with the boldness of a T-Bone
- Chocolate Stampede® ($11.79) LongHorn’s most iconic dessert for two; six types of chocolate with vanilla bean ice cream, the perfect bold finish
- The Cheesecake ($10.79) rich, creamy, and refined; an elegant dessert close after a big, bold steak
These additions create a full three-course steakhouse experience around the Fire-Grilled T-Bone* that delivers genuine value. At $33.29 for the steak, a complete evening with appetizer, T-Bone, side, and dessert still competes favorably against comparable steakhouse alternatives at higher price points.
