About Texas Roadhouse Hand-Cut Sirloin
The Hand-Cut Sirloin is the steak that built Texas Roadhouse. It starts at $14.49 for the 6 oz portion, and at 250 calories it is the leanest steak in the building. The cut comes off USDA Choice sirloin, trimmed and portioned by the in-house meat cutter the same morning you eat it. Four sizes cover every appetite: 6 oz at $14.49, 8 oz at $16.99, 11 oz at $19.99 and a full 16 oz at $24.99, each with two made-from-scratch sides.
Lean means less marbling, so the kitchen leans on seasoning and a hard sear to build flavor. Regulars order it medium or under, since sirloin past medium starts to toughen. If you want a first steak to judge the whole chain by, this is the one, and it costs less than most burgers with fries at a sit-down chain.

How to Make Texas Roadhouse Hand-Cut Sirloin at Home
A lean sirloin lives or dies by its seasoning and sear. This copycat gets you the Roadhouse crust at home with a cast-iron pan and a simple brown sugar and spice rub.
Ingredients
2 servings
Steak
- 2 sirloin steaks, about 8 oz each
- 1 tbsp canola oil
- 2 tbsp butter
Roadhouse Seasoning
- 1½ tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ¼ tsp chili powder
Instructions
0 of 5 steps
- 1Mix all seasoning ingredients. Pat steaks completely dry and coat both sides generously with the rub. · 5 min
- 2Rest the seasoned steaks at room temperature for 30 to 40 minutes so the salt penetrates and the meat cooks evenly. · 35 minTip: This resting step is the real secret. Cold steak seizes in the pan.
- 3Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat with the oil until it just smokes. · 3 min
- 4Sear steaks 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare (130°F internal). Add butter in the last minute and baste. · 8 min
- 5Rest 5 minutes under loose foil before cutting so the juices settle. · 5 min
Pro Tips
- Use a thermometer: 130°F medium-rare, 140°F medium. Sirloin past 145°F turns chewy.
- The brown sugar burns over charcoal flare-ups, so on a grill keep the steak over medium-high, not screaming hot, heat.
- Buy top sirloin at least 1.25 inches thick for a proper crust-to-center ratio.
Variations
Smothered
Top with sautéed onions, mushrooms and a slice of jack cheese, the same smother options the restaurant offers.
Surf and Turf
Add six seasoned grilled shrimp basted with lemon butter for a home version of the Sirloin & Grilled Shrimp combo.
Serving Ideas
- Serve with a baked potato and green beans, the classic Roadhouse plate.
- Warm dinner rolls with cinnamon honey butter complete the copycat.
- Slice leftovers thin for steak sandwiches the next day.
