If you’ve ever had a Texas Roadhouse steak, you know how juicy, flavorful, and perfectly seared it is. Now, you can recreate that restaurant-quality steak at home! With the right seasoning, a hot grill, and the perfect sear, you’ll enjoy a tender, smoky, and buttery steak that rivals any steakhouse favorite.

Ingredients

For the Steak:

• 2 ribeye, sirloin, or NY strip steaks (1 ¼ – 1 ½ inches thick)
• 2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (optional, for extra flavor)

For the Texas Roadhouse Seasoning:

• 2 tsp kosher salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• ½ tsp onion powder
• ½ tsp chili powder (optional, for heat)
• ½ tsp brown sugar (for a slight caramelized crust)

For Serving:

• 2 tbsp butter (for topping)
• 1 tsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Directions

Step 1: Prepare the Steaks

1. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
2. In a small bowl, mix all the seasoning ingredients together.
3. Rub the steaks with olive oil (or melted butter), then evenly coat them with the seasoning blend.
4. Let the steaks sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to absorb.

Step 2: Preheat the Grill

5. Preheat your grill to 450-500°F (232-260°C). If using a charcoal grill, allow the coals to become red-hot before grilling.

Step 3: Grill the Steaks

6. Place the steaks on the hot grill and sear for 3-5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness and preferred doneness:
   • Rare: 120-125°F (49-52°C) (2-3 minutes per side)
   • Medium-Rare: 130-135°F (54-57°C) (3-4 minutes per side)
   • Medium: 140-145°F (60-63°C) (4-5 minutes per side)
   • Medium-Well: 150-155°F (65-68°C) (5-6 minutes per side)
   • Well-Done: 160°F+ (71°C+) (6+ minutes per side)

Step 4: Let the Steaks Rest

7. Remove the steaks from the grill and place a pat of butter on each steak. Cover loosely with foil and let them rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

8. Slice and serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Pair with classic sides like mashed potatoes, baked potatoes, or grilled vegetables for the ultimate Texas Roadhouse experience.

Notes

• For a deeper flavor: Marinate the steaks in Worcestershire sauce for 1 hour before seasoning.
• Reverse sear method: For extra-thick steaks (2 inches+), cook over indirect heat first, then sear over high heat.
• Using a cast iron skillet? If you don’t have a grill, cook the steaks in a hot cast-iron skillet with butter for a great sear.

Why This Recipe Works

The signature seasoning blend creates a perfect crust, while grilling at high heat locks in the juices, giving you a tender, smoky, and flavorful steak just like Texas Roadhouse.
