Every Steak Cut at LongHorn Steakhouse
Flo’s Filet
Flo’s Filet is LongHorn’s signature steak and the one regulars order most. Cut from the center of the tenderloin, it’s the leanest and most tender steak on the menu, with a buttery texture that practically melts. A typical 8-ounce filet runs in the low-$30s, while the 6-ounce version is a few dollars less. If you want tenderness above all else, this is your steak.
Ribeye
The Ribeye is the flavor lover’s pick. Heavy marbling gives it a rich, beefy taste that many steakhouse regulars prefer over the filet — it just isn’t quite as fork-tender. LongHorn’s standard Ribeye usually lands in the high-$20s to low-$30s depending on size and location.
Outlaw Ribeye
The Outlaw Ribeye is LongHorn’s bone-in, oversized ribeye — a thicker, juicier version of the classic with the bone left in for extra flavor. It’s one of the most expensive items on the menu, typically in the mid-$30s, and it’s built for big appetites. If you’re celebrating, this is the showpiece order.
New York Strip
The New York Strip sits between the filet and the ribeye on both price and texture: a bit firmer than a ribeye, a bit more flavorful than a filet. It’s usually priced in the mid-to-high-$20s, making it one of the better value picks for a premium-tasting steak.
Porterhouse
The Porterhouse gives you two steaks in one — a strip on one side of the bone and a filet on the other. LongHorn serves it as a shareable-size cut (often around 22 ounces) in the low-$40s. It’s the best choice for two lighter eaters splitting a meal, or one very hungry diner.
Top Sirloin
The Top Sirloin is LongHorn’s budget-friendly workhorse. Leaner and a little firmer than the premium cuts, but seasoned and grilled the same way — and usually priced under $20. It’s the smartest pick when you want the steakhouse experience without the steakhouse bill.
How to Order Your Steak: Doneness Levels
LongHorn grills over open flame, so getting your doneness right matters. Here’s what each level means:
- Rare (120–125°F): cool red center, very soft texture. Only for those who love it barely cooked.
- Medium rare (130–135°F): warm red center, the cut most chefs recommend for filet and ribeye. This is the sweet spot for flavor and juiciness.
- Medium (135–145°F): warm pink center, slightly firmer. A safe pick if you’re unsure.
- Medium well (145–155°F): slightly pink center, much firmer. Lean cuts like sirloin dry out quickly past medium — order no higher than medium for the best result.
- Well done (160°F+): cooked through, no pink. LongHorn will cook it if you ask, but you’ll get the best texture sticking to medium or below.
Best Value Steaks at LongHorn
You don’t need to spend $40 for a great meal. The Top Sirloin is the obvious budget winner, but two other deals deserve a mention: the Lunch Steak (a smaller sirloin with a side, often under $15 on weekdays — see our lunch menu guide), and the steakhouse combos that pair a smaller steak with chicken or shrimp for only a few dollars more than the steak alone.
Tips for Ordering Like a Pro
- Ask about the daily cut. Some locations run unlisted daily specials on select steaks — it never hurts to ask your server.
- Order medium rare for premium cuts. Filet, ribeye, and strip all taste best at medium rare; the fat renders and the meat stays juicy.
- Skip the well-done filet. Lean cuts like filet dry out fast at high temperatures — if you prefer well done, a marbled ribeye holds up better.
- Ask for steak butter or toppings. LongHorn offers toppings like mushrooms, onions, or shrimp that can turn a basic sirloin into something special for a few extra dollars.
- Check the deals first. Happy hour and combo deals can include steak options — our deals guide covers 12 ways to save.
