About Texas Roadhouse Dallas Filet
The Dallas Filet is the tenderest steak Texas Roadhouse sells, cut from the tenderloin and priced at $23.99 for the 6 oz or $27.99 for the 8 oz. At 270 calories for the 6 oz it nearly matches the sirloin for leanness while eating like a completely different steak: soft enough to cut with a fork, mild enough that the seasoning and butter do the talking.
This is the anniversary steak, the celebration order, the one for people who value texture over big beefy flavor. The kitchen wraps nothing around it and hides nothing under it, so doneness matters more here than anywhere else on the menu. Order it medium-rare and it repays you.

How to Make Texas Roadhouse Dallas Filet at Home
Filet has little fat, so the method is a fast hard sear finished with butter, garlic and thyme. Twenty minutes start to finish, restaurant results.
Ingredients
2 servings
Steak
- 2 filet mignon steaks, 6 to 8 oz, 2 inches thick
- 1½ tsp kosher salt
- ¾ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp canola oil
Butter Baste
- 3 tbsp butter
- 3 garlic cloves, smashed
- 3 fresh thyme sprigs
Instructions
0 of 5 steps
- 1Salt and pepper the filets on all sides, including the edges. Rest 30 minutes at room temperature. · 30 min
- 2Sear in smoking-hot oil, 2.5 minutes per side without moving them. · 5 min
- 3Drop heat to medium. Add butter, garlic and thyme, and baste continuously for 2 to 3 minutes. · 3 minTip: Tilt the pan so the butter pools, then spoon fast and constantly.
- 4Sear the rounded edges 30 seconds each by holding the filets with tongs. · 2 min
- 5Pull at 125°F to 128°F and rest 5 minutes. Filet climbs about 5 degrees while resting. · 5 min
Pro Tips
- Never cook filet past medium. The cut has no fat to protect it.
- A 2-inch filet needs edge searing; skipping it leaves a gray band.
- Spoon the pan butter over the plated steak, not back in the pan.
Variations
Bacon-Wrapped
Wrap each filet in one strip of thin bacon secured with a toothpick before searing.
Peppercorn Crust
Press coarsely cracked peppercorns into both faces before the sear for a steakhouse au poivre edge.
Serving Ideas
- Mashed potatoes and green beans keep the plate light like the restaurant version.
- Serve with sautéed mushrooms, the classic filet pairing.
- A house salad first makes it the full Roadhouse date-night order.
