    Texas Roadhouse Steak Seasoning FAQs

    What does Texas Roadhouse do to make their steaks so tender?

    The key to making the steak tender is to let it rest after seasoning the steak. This lets the seasoning penetrate into the steak which helps to break down the muscle fibers. Let is rest for at least 30 minutes.
    They then place a little butter on a flat griddle or pan and sear the steak for 1 minute on each side for caramelization. You can then either continue to cook on the pan or transfer to a grill to finish off the cooking process.
    Let the steak rest for 5 minutes after cooking. This is an important step to let the juices settle through the meat.

    What kind of steak does Texas Roadhouse use?

    Texas Roadhouse uses USDA Choice Steaks. They offer a variety of different cuts at the restaurant including sirloin, New York strip, porterhouse, filet medallions, filet, T-bone, and ribeye.

      This recipe is awesome. I didn’t have all of the ingredients like turmeric or chili powder so I left out the turmeric and I used cayenne powder instead of chili powder. I followed your cooking instructions and my steaks were mouth watering. Thank you!
