Copycat Texas Roadhouse Steak

Here’s a copycat recipe to recreate Texas Roadhouse-style steaks at home. This recipe focuses on achieving the same flavor and texture using a blend of seasonings and a specific cooking method.

Ingredients:

For the Steak:

• 2-4 ribeye steaks (or your preferred cut)
• Olive oil
• Kosher salt
• Freshly ground black pepper

For the Seasoning:

• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Steaks:
   • Take the steaks out of the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. This ensures even cooking.
2. Make the Seasoning:
   • In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, brown sugar, chili powder, ground black pepper, salt, ground cumin, dried thyme, and dried oregano. Mix well.
3. Season the Steaks:
   • Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Rub a small amount of olive oil over each steak.
   • Generously coat both sides of the steaks with the seasoning mixture, pressing it into the meat with your hands.
4. Preheat the Grill:
   • Preheat your grill to high heat. If you’re using a charcoal grill, make sure the coals are hot and ashy. For a gas grill, preheat to about 450-500°F (232-260°C).
5. Grill the Steaks:
   • Place the steaks on the hot grill. For medium-rare, cook the steaks for about 4-5 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature:
     • Rare: 120-125°F (49-52°C)
     • Medium Rare: 130-135°F (54-57°C)
     • Medium: 140-145°F (60-63°C)
     • Medium Well: 150-155°F (66-68°C)
     • Well Done: 160°F (71°C) and above
6. Rest the Steaks:
   • Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest on a plate, loosely covered with aluminum foil, for about 5 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
7. Serve:
   • Serve the steaks with your favorite sides, such as baked potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad.

Enjoy your homemade Texas Roadhouse-style steak!
