The tender center-cut of beef, very lean but over-the-top on moist and mouth-watering. I heard the discussion at my table that it was like butter. Flo’s filet is hand seasoned meaning you can get this as bold or as light as you prefer, but definitely cooked to perfection!

Grill Tailgating Tips From The Experts At Longhorn Steakhouse

Our most tender center-cut of beef; lean yet succulent, mouth-watering buttery texture, and subtle flavor. Hand-seasoned and cooked to perfection

Who is ready to get their grilling game face on? It’s the one where you hold a beer in one hand, and the spatula in the other and mass produce food for all your friends and family. Are you ready to tailgate and dazzle with your tailgate grilling skills? Longhorn Steakhouse makes it possible for you to grill anywhere, anytime and create succulent cuts of meat that other will talk about until the next game!

Does that steak look tremendous? You got this!

 

 Get Your Grilling Game on BEFORE the Game:  Tailgate Tips 

  • Prep whatever you can the day before.  For example, skewer the meat, slice the vegetables and pack your car.
  • Arrive four to five hours in advance of the game to give yourself enough time to set up and eat.
  • Prep your surface. Ensure your grill is hot (500°F) and cleaned with a wire brush. Place your hand 3 inches above the grates, and if you need to pull away before you count to 3, it’s ready to start grilling!

It’s Game-Time Baby! 

  • Boldly season. Don’t be shy when seasoning your steak! Try “The Big 4” – salt, pepper, granulated onion powder and garlic powder – coat both sides of the steak well.
  • Make sure you let your steaks rest for 1-2 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to settle back into the meat, resulting in optimal flavor.
  • Prevent sticking. Before you put anything on your grill, rub the grates with a clean hand towel dipped in a small amount of canola oil. Use your tongs to handle the towel to avoid burning your hand.
  • Grill tools. Keep everything you need within reach: metal spatula, heavy duty metal tongs, a good grill brush and a small spray bottle (used to douse any flare-ups).

The Aftermath Tailgate Tips 

  • Don’t forget to turn the grill off when you leave your tailgate to go into the game!  Turn the gas off or cool and dump the charcoals in an appropriate receptacle—a metal bucket will work.
  • Put leftovers on ice in your cooler so you have an after game snack while you’re waiting for the traffic to subside.

Never Forget Grill Safety

  • Propane and charcoal grills should only be used outdoors.
  • The grill should be placed well away from the home, deck railings and out from under eaves and overhanging branches.
  • Keep children and pets away from the grill area.
  • Keep your grill clean by removing grease or fat buildup from the grills and in trays below the grill. And lastly, never leave your grill unattended.

  4. Overall, I tend to prefer smaller, non-chain restaurants, but Longhorns is a guilty pleasure of mine. I love their food, and I can imagine that a tailgate with them at the helm would be all too delicious!

  11. I don’t eat beef but I’m in a serious love affair with chicken ha! My friend always grills before any big game or event so I’ll be sure to pass on these tips with her. I love your Big 4 tip, you would be surprised at how many people DON’T season their meat before placing it on the grill :O!

  15. This entire post had me drooling. Living in an apartment for so many years left us with just a small grill. Now that we have a patio in our new townhome, we may need to invest in a larger one. I’m in the mood for some ribs.

  16. Great tips for grilling and tailgating. I’m not much of a carnivore. But I know people who take this really seriously (including my husband!) So this is really useful.

  19. I am sitting at work and looking at these amazing, appetising, juicy dishes (your pictures are only enhancing the appeal) and my tummy seems to be making loud gurgling noises. LOL. Longhorn Steakhouse seems to be the sort of place I need to eat at!

  20. I love Longhorn Steakhouse! Unfortunately we moved from South Dakota to Washington state, and another chain has the same name but not the great food! Everything at the real Longhorn is delicious!!
