$16.99The Hand-Cut Sirloin is the steak most people order without thinking twice, and for good reason. It’s lean, flavorful, and the most affordable hand-cut steak on the menu, the everyday steakhouse choice that doesn’t cut corners.
Why People Love This Dish
Value is the big one. You get a real hand-cut steak, grilled to order, for the lowest price in the steak lineup. It’s also lean and consistent, so it’s an easy, reliable order whether you’re a first-timer or a weekly regular.
What It Is
The Hand-Cut Sirloin is a lean steak cut fresh in-house every day, seasoned and grilled over an open flame. It comes with your choice of two made-from-scratch sides. Because it’s offered in several sizes, it works for a light dinner or a serious appetite.
Taste and Texture
Sirloin is leaner than the ribeye, so it has a firmer, meatier bite and a clean, beef-forward flavor. It’s not as buttery as the filet or as rich as the ribeye, but that’s the trade-off for the price, and many people prefer that straightforward steak taste. Medium to medium-rare keeps it juicy.
Ingredients
Hand-cut sirloin and the house steak seasoning, grilled. Toppings and sauces are optional.
How It Is Prepared
The sirloin is cut fresh daily, seasoned, and grilled to the doneness you request, then plated with your two sides.
Customization Options
- Choose your doneness
- Add a topping like sautéed mushrooms, onions, or jack cheese
- Pick your two sides
- Size up or down depending on your appetite
Available Sizes

The Best Value Steak on the Menu, and It Is Not Close
The 6oz Hand-Cut Sirloin is $16.99 and 420 calories. It is simultaneously the cheapest steak here and the lightest. That combination does not usually happen on a menu.
| Cut | Price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Hand-Cut Sirloin 6oz | $16.99 | 420 |
| Hand-Cut Sirloin 8oz | $19.99 | 540 |
| New York Strip 12oz | $22.99 | 520 |
| Ft. Worth Ribeye 12oz | $24.99 | 680 |
| Dallas Filet 6oz | $26.99 | 450 |
| Bone-In Ribeye 16oz | $29.99 | 820 |
Why it wins on both counts: sirloin is naturally leaner than ribeye, so it carries fewer calories per ounce. It is also less prized by butchers, which keeps the price down. You are getting the lean-cut benefit and paying less for it.
What You Give Up
Tenderness. Sirloin has more chew than a filet and less melting richness than a ribeye. That is the trade, and it is a real one.
If you want beef that falls apart, this is not that cut, and the Dallas Filet at $26.99 is where to go. If you want a steak that tastes like beef at a price you would repeat on a Tuesday, this is the order.
6oz or 8oz?
The 8oz is three dollars more and 120 calories heavier. For most people the 6oz with two sides is already a full dinner, and the 8oz results in a box.
Go 8oz if you routinely finish a large plate. Otherwise the 6oz is the better call, and the three dollars is better spent on a side you actually want.

- Medium rare. Sirloin is lean, so it toughens past medium faster than a ribeye.
- Butter on request. Skip it if you want the 420 to hold.
- It is the early dine backbone. If your location runs early dine, this is often the cheapest full steak dinner available. See our early dine page.
- Two sides included. Green beans at 160 puts the plate at 580.
