Texas Roadhouse counts ten different steaks on its menu, including perennial favorites like ribeye and New York strip, but a less glamorous sirloin beats them all.
The restaurant chain’s best-selling steak of the bunch is surprisingly humble. The 6-ounce USDA Choice sirloin steak on the Texas Roadhouse menu is a customer favorite.
Coming from near the hip of the cow, the sirloin gets a lot of exercise. That makes the meat leaner and a little tougher than more desirable cuts like tenderloin and ribeye.
Higher-quality sirloin can still make a great steak. It's got plenty of flavor, and the meat is still decently tender and marbled with some fat, making it a great budget steak.
