Dallas Filet
The Dallas Filet is one of the signature steak cuts served at Texas Roadhouse. It’s known for being the most tender steak on the menu, hand-cut from the center of the tenderloin. Unlike other steakhouse cuts that focus on marbling for flavor, the Dallas Filet is prized for its buttery texture and melt-in-your-mouth tenderness. Guests often compare it with the New York Strip but this stands out as the leanest and softest choice.
🍴 Ingredients & Preparation
The Dallas Filet comes from the center cut of the tenderloin, which delivers unmatched softness. Chefs at Texas Roadhouse hand-cut each steak to ensure quality. They season it lightly with their house blend, then grill it over an open flame. Finally, they brush it with melted butter to lock in juices and create a rich flavor. As a result, the Filet always stays juicy, tender, and flavorful.
⚙️ Customization Options
You can customize the Dallas Filet according to your taste. Guests choose their preferred doneness, from rare to well-done. Additionally, you may enhance the steak by adding toppings like sautéed mushrooms or caramelized onions. To complement the steak, you can pair it with two sides, such as mashed potatoes, seasoned rice, or a fresh house salad. Therefore, the Dallas easily adapts to different flavor preferences.
