Outback Steak Prices by Cut 2026
Price disclaimer: All dollar ranges below are broad, unofficial editorial estimates for planning—not fixed, quoted, or guaranteed Outback Steakhouse prices. Prices, cut names, weights, sides, availability, taxes, fees, and promotions vary by location, date, and ordering channel. Delivery pricing may be higher. Select your restaurant and verify its current official menu before ordering.
Quick Answer: How Much Do Outback Steaks Cost in 2026?
As a general planning estimate, an Outback steak entrée may cost about $17–$40 or more before tax, tip, upgrades, and delivery fees. Center-cut sirloin is commonly the budget starting point; New York strip and ribeye usually occupy the middle-to-premium range; and filet or larger specialty steaks are often among the higher-priced choices.
The cut alone does not determine the bill. A larger portion, premium side, add-on, or delivery order can make a normally lower-cost cut more expensive. Review the Outback menu price guide and the selected restaurant’s official menu for the current total.
Outback Steak Cuts and Estimated Price Ranges
| Steak cut or style | Typical character | Unofficial 2026 estimate | Value consideration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Center-cut sirloin | Lean, beef-forward, available in multiple sizes | About $17–$26 | Often the lowest-priced steak entrée and easiest cut to match to appetite |
| Sirloin with a combination | Smaller sirloin paired with chicken, shrimp, or another protein | About $22–$34 | More variety, but usually costs more than sirloin alone |
| New York strip | Firm texture, robust flavor, moderate marbling | About $25–$33 | A middle ground between lean sirloin and richer ribeye |
| Ribeye | Rich, highly marbled, and juicy | About $27–$37 | Flavor-focused choice; higher price and calorie load are common |
| Bone-in ribeye or specialty rib steak | Large, marbled steak with bone-in presentation | About $32–$42+ | Premium option best compared by portion size, not price alone |
| Filet or filet-style tenderloin | Very tender, mild, and relatively lean | About $28–$40+ | Usually carries a tenderness premium despite a smaller-looking portion |
| Porterhouse or large bone-in steak | Large serving with more than one texture or muscle | About $33–$43+ | High total price; may offer more steak per order for a large appetite |
These ranges are editorial estimates only. Individual cuts and branded menu names may not be offered at every location, and a current local menu may fall outside these ranges.
Sirloin vs Ribeye vs Filet: Which Cut Fits Your Budget?
| Factor | Sirloin | Ribeye | Filet |
|---|---|---|---|
| Estimated price position | Lower | Middle to premium | Premium |
| Texture | Firm and meaty | Tender with visible marbling | Very tender and fine-grained |
| Flavor | Direct beef flavor | Rich and buttery | Mild and delicate |
| Relative fat level | Usually leaner | Usually highest of the three | Generally lean, though preparation matters |
| Best for | Price and portion flexibility | Marbling and richness | Tenderness and a premium experience |
Choose sirloin when the main goal is a steak dinner at a lower estimated menu price. Multiple portion sizes, where offered, can make it easier to avoid paying for more food than you want.
Choose ribeye when rich flavor and marbling matter more than choosing the leanest or lowest-cost steak. Compare its weight and included sides with a strip steak before deciding.
Choose filet when tenderness is the priority. Filet can look smaller than other cuts yet still cost more per ounce, so it is rarely the lowest-budget selection.
What Changes the Price of an Outback Steak?
Cut and portion size
More tender or heavily marbled cuts typically command a premium, and a larger listed weight generally raises the price. Compare both cut and ounces when the local menu displays more than one size.
Included sides and upgrades
A steak entrée may include sides, but premium substitutions, loaded toppings, extra sauces, or protein add-ons can increase the final total. The standard sides may provide better overall value than an entrée with multiple upgrades.
Restaurant location and ordering method
Local operating costs and menu decisions can produce different prices between restaurants. Prices displayed for delivery can also differ from dine-in or pickup, before service fees and other charges are added.
Limited-time offers
A bundle or promotion can temporarily change which cut offers the best value. Check the terms in the Outback Steakhouse deals guide, including eligible dates, locations, and ordering methods.
Best-Value Steak Cuts at Outback
Best lower-cost choice: center-cut sirloin
Sirloin is often the strongest starting point for price-conscious diners because it delivers a traditional steak experience without the typical ribeye or filet premium. A smaller portion with included sides may be enough for a moderate appetite.
Best balance of flavor and price: New York strip
A strip can appeal to diners who want more marbling than sirloin without moving to the richest ribeye. Its value depends on the local price gap, listed weight, and whether the included sides are comparable.
Best flavor-focused value: ribeye
Ribeye is not normally the cheapest cut, but diners who prioritize rich flavor may find it worth the added cost. Avoiding paid toppings and choosing included sides can keep the premium more predictable.
Best tenderness-focused choice: filet
Filet’s value lies in tenderness rather than quantity. It can make sense for a diner who prefers a smaller, very tender steak, but sirloin is generally the more practical choice when price per meal is the deciding factor.

How to Compare Steak Prices Without Overpaying
- Choose a portion for your appetite. Paying less for a smaller steak can be better value than taking home food you will not use.
- Compare complete entrées. Check the number and type of included sides rather than comparing steak prices in isolation.
- Calculate the upgrade cost. Toppings, premium sides, add-on proteins, and specialty preparations can erase the savings of a lower-priced cut.
- Compare pickup and delivery totals. Look beyond the item price to service fees, delivery fees, taxes, and tip.
- Review the dinner menu first. Use the Outback dinner menu with prices to compare steak and non-steak categories, then confirm the selected location’s current menu.
- Check active offers. A qualifying steak bundle may be better value than the regular à la carte choice, but only while its terms apply.
Steak Calories and Nutrition Note
Calories vary substantially by cut, portion, doneness preparation, seasoning, butter or sauce, toppings, and sides. Ribeye generally contains more fat than a similarly sized sirloin or tenderloin because it has more marbling. A larger steak also normally supplies more calories, protein, saturated fat, and sodium than a smaller portion of the same cut.
Do not estimate a complete meal from the steak alone. Loaded sides, dressings, toppings, and beverages can materially change its nutrition profile. Consult the Outback nutrition menu guide and current official nutrition materials for item-specific information. Nutrition figures can change, and people managing allergies or medical diets should speak with qualified professionals and restaurant staff rather than relying only on a general menu guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cheapest steak cut at Outback?
Center-cut sirloin is commonly the lowest-priced steak category, especially in a smaller portion. That is a general comparison rather than a guaranteed local result; cuts, sizes, offers, and prices vary by restaurant.
How much is an Outback sirloin in 2026?
A broad editorial planning range is about $17–$26 before tax, tip, upgrades, and delivery fees. This is not an official quoted price. Select a location on the official menu to confirm the current sirloin sizes and prices.
Is ribeye more expensive than sirloin at Outback?
Ribeye is generally priced above sirloin because it is a richer, more marbled cut and may be sold in a larger portion. Local menu pricing and promotions can change the difference.
Why does filet cost more even when it is smaller?
Filet comes from a limited, especially tender part of the animal, so its price reflects tenderness and supply rather than portion size alone. Diners focused on ounces per dollar may prefer sirloin.
Which Outback steak is the best value?
Sirloin usually offers the best lower-cost value. New York strip can provide a useful balance of texture, flavor, and price, while ribeye or filet may be better personal value when marbling or tenderness is the priority.
Do Outback steak entrées include sides?
Many steak entrées may include side choices, but inclusions and upgrade charges can vary. Read the current location-specific menu and confirm substitutions before ordering.
Are the steak prices in this guide official?
No. Every range is an independent editorial estimate for planning. It should be verified against the official menu for the selected restaurant and ordering channel.
