Selecting the Perfect Cut
LongHorn Steakhouse has earned its legendary status among steak purists by executing a simple formula: high-quality cuts, bold proprietary seasonings, and precise fire-grilling. But with over half a dozen different steak cuts on the menu, choosing the right one can be a daunting culinary task.
To help you navigate your next dining experience, **Steakhouse Expert Chef Marcus Vance** breaks down and ranks the best steaks at LongHorn Steakhouse in 2026. From colossal bone-in cuts to tender lean legends, here is the definitive guide complete with updated pricing from the official LongHorn Menu with Prices, allowing you to select the perfect steak from the Dinner Menu.
#1. The Outlaw Ribeye (20 oz Bone-In)
The Undisputed King of Juiciness & Marbling.
If you are looking for the absolute peak steakhouse experience, the Outlaw Ribeye is the holy grail. This massive 20-ounce cut features bone-in ribeye beef that is richly marbled. It is heavily seasoned with LongHorn's signature Grill Master blend and cooked over an open flame. The bone seals in the juices, while the open flame char-grills the high fat content into a deeply caramelized, savory crust.
Chef Marcus Vance's Tip: Always order this cut **Medium-Rare to Medium**. The marbling needs enough heat to melt into the meat, creating an incredibly rich, buttery texture. Ordering it Rare leaves the fat unrendered and chewy.
💰 2026 Price: **$31.99** (Includes choice of side and salad).
#2. Flo's Filet (6 oz / 9 oz)
The Butter-Soft lean Legend.
Named after a beloved long-term employee, Flo's Filet is the epitome of tenderness. It is a center-cut tenderloin, meticulously hand-trimmed to eliminate all tough fat. LongHorn flat-grills this thick cut with light seasoning (Prairie Dust), yielding a steak that is exceptionally juicy and so tender you can practically cut it with a fork. It is buttery-soft and elegant.
Chef Marcus Vance's Tip: This is a very lean cut. Order it **Rare or Medium-Rare** to preserve its delicate juices. Searing it beyond Medium will dry out the tenderloin.
💰 2026 Prices: 6 oz for **$21.49** | 9 oz for **$25.79**.
#3. New York Strip (12 oz)
The Steakhouse Purist's Dream.
For those who want a robust, deep beefy flavor combined with a firm, satisfying bite, the 12-ounce New York Strip is the standard. It features a signature thick fat cap running along the side. During grilling, this fat melts down over the strip, keeping the interior tender while creating a highly savory crust. It delivers the perfect balance of marbling and firm texture.
💰 2026 Price: **$25.49**.
#4. The LongHorn Porterhouse (22 oz)
The Colossal Two-in-One Feast.
Can't decide between a tender filet and a beefy strip steak? The Porterhouse gives you the absolute best of both worlds. This colossal 22-ounce bone-in cut features a thick New York Strip on one side of the bone, and an oversized, tender Filet Mignon on the other. It is a magnificent showstopper of a steak, grilled over open flames.
💰 2026 Price: **$34.99**.
#5. Renegade Sirloin (6 oz / 8 oz)
The Everyday Budget Hero.
The Renegade Sirloin is LongHorn’s highest-selling steak, and for good reason. It is a USDA Choice center-cut top sirloin, lean, clean, and seasoned with their signature bold Prairie Dust blend. While it lacks the extreme marbling of a ribeye or the supreme tenderness of a filet, it delivers a highly satisfying, beefy steak dinner at an unbeatable price point.
💰 2026 Prices: 6 oz for **$15.99** | 8 oz for **$18.99**.
#6. Chop Steak (10 oz)
The Savory Comfort Classic.
For a comforting, home-style steak dinner, the 10-ounce Chop Steak is a great alternative. It features freshly ground, high-quality beef grilled flat-top style, smothered in caramelized onions, savory grilled mushrooms, and rich garlic herb butter sauce. Unpretentious and highly savory.
💰 2026 Price: **$15.49**.
