LongHorn Fire-Grilled T-Bone: Two Steaks on One Plate

Steak lovers often face the same dilemma — go bold with a strip steak, or go tender with a filet? LongHorn Steakhouse's Fire-Grilled T-Bone solves that problem by giving you both, on a single plate.

This 18 oz bone-in cut comes from the short loin, with a New York Strip on one side of the bone and a buttery Filet Mignon on the other. Both sides are cooked together over an open flame by certified Grill Masters, giving the steak a genuine smoky char you don't get from boneless cuts. The bone itself isn't just for show either — it insulates the meat as it cooks, distributing heat evenly and keeping the meat closest to it especially flavorful.

When it comes to doneness, Medium Rare (130–135°F) is widely considered the sweet spot for this steak. It lets the fattier strip side render properly for a juicy bite, while keeping the leaner filet side tender and buttery instead of drying out. Many regulars recommend starting with the strip side first, then saving the filet bites near the bone for last — often described as the best part of the whole meal.

Nutritionally, the T-Bone runs around 1,130 calories on its own, sitting between the Ribeye and the Outlaw Ribeye. It's also fairly high in sodium, so pairing it with lighter sides like Steamed Broccoli or Fresh Steamed Asparagus helps keep the overall meal more balanced — especially for anyone watching their sodium intake or following a keto diet, since the steak itself is very low in carbs.

At around $33 for dinner (with a slightly lower lunch price on weekdays), the Fire-Grilled T-Bone remains one of the more value-packed picks on LongHorn's steak menu, simply because it offers two distinct steak experiences for the price of one entrée.
