Texas Roadhouse is known for its flavorful and tender steaks, often seasoned with a signature blend of spices. Here’s a copycat recipe for Texas Roadhouse steak that you can try at home:
Ingredients:
- 2 ribeye steaks (or your preferred cut)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
- Butter for serving (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Steak: Take the steaks out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This allows the steaks to cook more evenly.
- Make the Steak Seasoning: In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, kosher salt, black pepper, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir until well combined.
- Season the Steaks: Pat the steaks dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. Rub the seasoning mixture generously over both sides of the steaks, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let the steaks marinate in the seasoning for about 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.
- Preheat the Grill or Pan: Preheat your grill to high heat or heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Make sure the cooking surface is hot before adding the steaks.
- Cook the Steaks: Place the steaks on the hot grill or pan. Cook the steaks for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time according to your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steaks: 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, 140°F (60°C) for medium, and 150°F (66°C) for medium-well.
- Rest the Steaks: Once the steaks are cooked to your liking, transfer them to a plate or cutting board and let them rest for about 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring a juicy steak.
- Serve: Optionally, top the steaks with a pat of butter before serving for extra richness and flavor. Serve the Texas Roadhouse-style steaks hot with your favorite sides, such as baked potatoes, vegetables, or salad.
Enjoy your homemade Texas Roadhouse-style steak with all the bold flavors and tenderness you love from the restaurant!
