LongHorn Outlaw Ribeye — one of the highest protein steaks on the menu

Last Updated: August 2026

LongHorn High-Protein Menu — Ranked Like a Training Log

I track protein the way some people track fantasy football. At LongHorn, the math is friendly: most steaks clear 45g+ before you touch a side. Below is how I rank the menu when the goal is grams first, vibes second.

Protein Ranking Table (Approx. Grams)

# Item Protein (g) Calories Notes
1 Outlaw Ribeye (18 oz) 88 1050 Share or leftover — massive protein haul
2 Porterhouse / T-Bone (large) 80–95* 1000+ *Varies by cut weight; bone-in
3 Parmesan Crusted Chicken 58 650 High protein; higher carbs from crust
4 Renegade Sirloin (6 oz) 52 430 Best protein-per-calorie everyday pick
5 Flo's Filet (6 oz) 48 450 Lean, tender, easy cut day meal
6 New York Strip (12 oz) 55–65* ~700 *Approx.; firm texture athletes love
7 LongHorn Salmon 42 520 Omega-3 bonus; ask plain grilled
8 Half-Pound Burger (no bun) ~40–45* ~550 Protein-style; count cheese separately
9 Redrock Grilled Shrimp ~25–35* ~250 Great add-on to steak for 70g+
10 Kids Sirloin (4 oz) ~28–32* ~320 Light appetite / snack protein

Sample Training-Day Meals

Cut Day (~52–55g protein)

Renegade 6 oz, double broccoli, water. Optional side salad with light dressing. Clean, cheap, repeatable.

Post-Lift Feast (~80–100g+)

Outlaw Ribeye (eat half, box half) or full strip + shrimp add-on. Carbs from a baked potato if it's a refeed night.

Lean + Omega-3 (~42–50g)

Salmon or Flo's Filet + asparagus. My travel week default when hotel gyms and late dinners collide.

Pro Tip: Leftovers Are a Second Serving

An 18 oz ribeye is two protein hits if you reheat it right. See our reheating guide before you microwave it into sadness.

Honest caveat: Protein grams are approximate and can shift with trim, cooking loss, and sauces. This is a fitness ordering guide, not a lab assay. If you compete in a tested sport with strict weigh-ins, weigh leftovers at home and log from your own scale.

LongHorn High-Protein FAQ

Among regular entrees, the Outlaw Ribeye (~88g protein for ~18 oz) leads the pack. Large bone-in steaks (Porterhouse/T-Bone) can rival or beat it depending on trim. For a single-person plate without leftovers, Renegade or Parmesan Crusted Chicken are more practical.
My cut-day default: 6 oz Renegade (~52g protein, ~430 cal) + double broccoli. Bulk day: Outlaw Ribeye shared or full, plus shrimp add-on, then leftovers for a second meal.
A 6 oz Flo's Filet is typically around 48g of protein and ~450 calories before sides. See our Flo's Filet page for the full item breakdown.
Yes — it's one of the easier casual chains for hitting 40–90g protein in one sitting without relying on shakes. Control sides and sauces if you also track fat or carbs.
Ask to add Redrock Grilled Shrimp to any steak, double the chicken portion when available, or order a side of shrimp. Some locations will do an extra steak add-on — confirm price first.
Renegade Sirloin 6 oz with steamed broccoli is usually the best protein-to-calorie ratio on the menu. Skip loaded potatoes and Stampede if calories matter as much as grams.
