Schlotzsky's Hard-Carved Ribeye Steak Menu

BY: Karen Logan

Attention steak lovers! Schlotzsky’s has new menu items featuring Hand-Carved Ribeye Steak, but it’s only around for a limited time. I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to sample all 5 new items, so I visited the Bakery-Cafe, ordered one of each, and called it “dinner” for my family of 6.

Everyone’s favorite entrée was the Hand-Carved Ribeye Steak Flatbread that was loaded with great flavor – steak, green onions, roasted peppers, roasted tomatoes, cheddar and mozzarella cheese, blue cheese crumbles, mayo, and topped with an Andouille cream sauce. I’m not a fan of blue cheese, but I forgot to ask them to omit it from my order. No regrets. The blue cheese went along so well with the other flavors that I’m glad we left it on. The flatbread was also very visually appealing, something I would cut into pieces and lay out on a wooden cutting board as an appetizer for my Girl's Night In guests.

My other favorite, the Chophouse Steak Salad, was just as impressive as the flatbread. The sweet (not tart) cranberries gave the salad a bold, fun flavor without overdoing it. I was given my choice of hot or cold steak (I choose hot), and I enjoyed every bite. The fried onions dress up this not-too-complicated salad and really make it a star.

Other hand-carved ribeye steak menu items include:tar. Even more, the garlic bread served with the salad is some of the best garlic bread I’ve had this year – soft, so buttery, and a perfect amount of garlic.

Steak ‘n Bacon Bacon SmokeCheezy Sandwich: Tender hand-carved ribeye steak, sliced bacon, roasted red peppers and smoked cheddar cheese topped with Southwest chipotle majoy served oven-baked on a Fresh-from-Scratch sourdough bun.

- This sandwich was moist (not dry!) and flavorful; the generous portion of steak was tender, and the peppers were sautéed to perfection.

Steak, Guacamole and Red Peppers Sandwich: Tender hand-carved ribeye steak, Pepper Jack cheese, roasted vegetables, guacamole and chipotle pesto served oven-baked on a Fresh-from-Scratch jalapeno-cheese bun.

- - This flavorful sandwich seemed a bit toned down, and I didn’t taste as much guacamole as I was hoping to. The jalepeno bun adds a nice kick.

Chophouse Steak Wrap:

- - I didn’t sample this one, but the ingredients are the same as the delicious salad, but they’re wrapped in a healthy grain tortilla with your choice of dressing.

Schlotzsky’s Hand-Carved Ribeye Steak menu is available through December 28, so hurry in to try it!
