I've only been to Outback maybe 4 times. Usually on a gift card my wife gets from school/students.
Their most affordable steaks called a "top sirloin". Always pretty good for what it is. I had a hankerin' for some real beef steak. Dialed up Jess Pryle's web site and watched her video on Top Sirloin. Went off on a mission to find a chunky top Sirloin I could grill and slice. (though not my favorite way to eat steak). Made the rounds, and my last stop was the Italian meat market that is usually 30-40% higher than the grocery stores. They had "Prime" top sirloins for $12.99/lb. They were thick and all weighed around 3lbs each. I always keep a Qt bottle of "steak rub" (SPOG) so i coated both sides good. Also sprinkled some instant coffee (which we rarely have) across the top of the rub.
Fired up the kettle with the SNS basket. I seared first because i wanted grill marks. I couple minutes right over he coals on each side them move to the "cool" side. Let go to 130. rested and sliced.
Let me tell you, this was some of the best "steak" we've eaten in a long time. If I see it again I'd rather have that than Choice ribeye or porterhouse.
