All of you know I’ve been on a mission to cook more at home lately. But let’s just be honest…mama needs a night out every once in a while. And when I do get to go out for dinner, there’s only one thing I want: Steak! Since I think steak is a perfect meal for any occasion, I’m thrilled to have partnered with Outback Steakhouse to share information with you about the new “Bold at Steak” campaign as well as their petition to make steak the first official US food. While I was compensated for this post, all opinions on the awesomeness of Outback are my own.
I’m a carnivore. There, I said it. Steak is my favorite food and the meal that I want when I get the chance to go out for dinner. Thankfully I married a man who is the exact same way and so whether it’s date night or family night out, I always know that when it comes to getting a great steak, we’re heading to Outback. Now for years they have been a favorite place of mine. The hubs and I dated there. Heck, I even worked there when I was in college (I told you I love some steak!). So it should come as no surprise to anyone that I think steak should be the official food of the US.
Thankfully, Outback agrees with me. And while if you’ve ever been there you likely already know that their steaks are pretty much perfection, they are taking things a step further with their new “Bold at Steak” menu and offerings! Focusing on the bold flavors, sights and sound that have long made Outback the steak authority, this new way of looking at steaks includes a brand new menu, fresh menu innovations and even a Wood-Fire Grilled Flat Iron Steak that is seriously mouthwatering!
It’s a menu that could convince anyone that steak truly does deserve to the the first national US food and earlier this week, we had the chance to go try it out for ourselves!
I loved that there were recommendations on what steaks to order, how to prepare them and even what to pair with them. I kid you not, we were all drooling over the menu and couldn’t wait to dig in!
And when we did, as always, Outback didn’t disappoint! With juicy, tender steaks and amazing sides their meals are sure to satisfy the steak lover in all of us.
After our experience, I can’t image any other food competing for the honor of the first US national food and I can’t image going anywhere but Outback to get the very best steak each and every time! I encourage each of you steak lovers out there to do two things now:
1: Head to your local Outback Steakhouse and try the new steak menu! With 8 different cuts of their signature steaks cooked to your liking and served with amazing sides, I have no doubt you’ll fall in love with this new menu just like I have!
2: Help make steak the first national US food by signing the petition here. Then proudly be part of the movement to give the US it’s very own official food that is sure to rival any country in the world!
To learn more about Outback Steakhouse and what makes their steaks a cut above the rest, be sure to visit the Outback website, like them on Facebook and follow them on Twitter.
But wait! We want to give you a chance to try the new “Bold at Steak” menu at Outback! That’s why we’re so excited to partner with Outback to give one very lucky winner a $50 Gift Card to Outback Steakhouse! Sounds delicious, right?

Because when I think of “American food” Steak is the first thing that comes into my mind! Big, Juicy steaks! lol

“More Meat” we love our steak !
Because a good steak makes everyone happier.
Steak is always a winner. It would be a terrific pick as USA official food.
If steak wasn’t so expensive, we’d probably eat it atleast 2-3 times a week. With some sauteed mushrooms, peppers and onions with a nice potato. And as my daughter says “Throw a bandaid on it and send it back into the field” cooked.. MMMHHHMMMM, my pregnant belly is needing some juicy steak!!

Steak is a great choice for the US, because it is a perfect summer grilling food! Lots of sides go with it too.

Steak should be the official food of the US because I think it is as American as Apple Pie.
I think steak is the ultimate comfort food.
Love your food Outback.
because it is delicious!!!
My husband and I rarely go out to dinner, opting instead to cook at home for the family. It gets quite pricey taking the family out to dinner, and I don’t really like NOT including the kids. So instead, we just have a lot of home-cooked meals. I love to win an Outback Steakhouse gift card!! We have an Outback Steakhouse about 3 miles from our home and I could treat the whole family to a night out!!
because you can eat it in so many ways!
because it is a whole food source of protein and minerals that tastes amazing
I think it should be the official food because it’s so hearty and flavorful!
Rose Goode says
Steak is the best meat you can eat taste the texture, seasoning, plus you’ll cann have ribeye york york strip, t-bone, porthouse, ect, I love a good stak dinner at any price
Argentina has a huge beef industry and have great steaks. The US also has great steaks, but I don’t think it should be the official food of the US. We adopt food from everywhere and put a twist on it to make it our own. If any food should be consider the official food of the US, it should be BBQ in all of its many and varied forms. Anyone can have good steaks, but we really know how to do BBQ.
I’m not sure , some people might pick the hotdog. But I like the idea of apple pie. As American as apple pie.
because it’s delicious!
Because it tastes so good.

Steak just seems like the quintessential American food - a hearty, meat & potatoes kind of meal that is delicious.

I think Steak should be the official food of the US cause it is the best meat and who doesn’t enjoy a great steak! It is pure goodness and it should be celebrated by becoming the offical US food!

Who doesn’t love steak? I’m with you, it is hands down my favorite thing to have.

Because that’s what feeds our families - my grandfather was a CattleRancher! Steak was a staple on our dinner table. It’s a part of America & a part I can remember that got us fed & going.
Because steak is an American household tradition! Steak is eaten at special occasions such as birthdays and anniversaries and also for summer grill outs!
I like my steak medium - the 2 years I lived in KS, the ONLY steak I could eat that didn’t upset my stomach was from Outback!
Because if cooked right it is the best tasting meats around.
Tender to eat. good for your health.

Steak should be the national food because it’s been a staple food of this country (longer than pie and burgers). Steak seems serious, not a food to be trifled with 🙂
Grilling and steaks just go hand and hand, and grilling steaks just seems the American way!
Steak is as American as apple pie and hot dogs 🙂 It should be included in the list of All American foods 🙂
Steak should be the national food…..grilling is the American way of life
I think steak should represent us because it’s classier than hot dogs! 😉 Kidding of course! Steak is all-American without a doubt!
It’s tasty and is very USA.
Steak just seems like its woven into the fabric of our countries - grilling out, over flames - from the pioneer days, to the cowboys, to the 50’s bbq - its just what we do.
Steak is an all-American dish. That’s why it should it!

Steak makes me think of cowboys, which are as all-American as it gets!
It is delicious! There doesn’t have to be any more reason than that!
love Outback steak-hard to recreate at home, but it’s definitely an “All-American” food.
