A recent TikTok video, posted by a creator named “Bubba” using the handle @bubbahpaints, appears to show a customer ordering a specific steak at a Texas Roadhouse restaurant. The video opens inside what appears to be a bustling Texas Roadhouse, according to the footage. On-screen text, visible early in the clip, reads, “How to order the best steak at Texas Roadhouse.” A bearded man, identified as the customer, is seen sitting at a wooden table, intently looking at a large menu spread before him. He appears to wear a green t-shirt and has visible tattoos on both arms, as shown in the video.
The customer proceeds to place his order, speaking directly in the video. He states, “Can I get the 11-ounce hand-cut sirloin cooked medium rare in Pittsburgh, please?” He looks up, smiling, as he finishes his request, according to the visual evidence. A basket of bread rolls and a drink are already visible on the table, suggesting he had been seated for some time.
Moments later, the video shows a server arriving with the customer’s food. The customer greets her with a “Hey” and thanks her as she places a plate with a steak and a loaded baked potato in front of him. Another plate, which appears to contain fried chicken or onion rings, and a side dish of green beans are also visible on the table. The server then asks, “Would y’all like any sauce at all?” The customer, appearing slightly confused, asks, “Any what?” The server clarifies, “Any sauce?” to which the customer replies, “Um, no thank you.” The server concludes the interaction by saying, “Alright, y’all enjoy.”
Understanding the “Pittsburgh’d” Steak Order
Following the server’s departure, the customer immediately begins to cut into his steak, as shown in the video. He notes aloud, “It’s got a crust,” as he starts to slice the meat. As he cuts through the steak, the interior is revealed to be a perfectly cooked medium-rare, according to the visual evidence. He exclaims with apparent satisfaction, “Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah baby!” The customer then continues to cut another piece, appearing clearly pleased with the doneness of the sirloin.
The video then shows the customer taking a bite of the steak, seemingly savoring the flavor. A close-up shot in the footage highlights the steak’s dark, seared crust and its pink, juicy center. The customer is then seen adding a small dollop of sauce to one of the cut pieces of steak. He takes another bite, and after chewing, concludes his assessment by stating, “Yep. Juicy.”
The video’s public caption provides additional context regarding the specific steak order. The caption instructs viewers, “Make sure you ask for it medium rare and Pittsburg’d.” It also includes the phrase “You’re welcome!” and several related hashtags, including #texasroadhouse and #steaktok, which appear to categorize the content.
The video garnered numerous reactions and comments from viewers on the platform. The comment section displayed a variety of opinions and humorous anecdotes related to steak and restaurant experiences. The steakhouse chatter extends beyond this sirloin, as one man demonstrated slicing bread at Longhorn Steakhouse using pre-scored lines.
According to the video’s creator, one commenter expressed a strong opinion about steak quality, writing, “If you have to add steak sauce to a steak then it’s not a good steak and I’ll stand 10 toes behind that.” Another viewer shared a comedic, fictional account of a similar ordering style, stating, “I ordered mine Compton style and I got robbed on my way to the bathroom.”
A different user directly criticized the steak preparation style mentioned, commenting, “Pittsburgh style is gross.” In a similar vein of dark humor, another comment read, “My friend ordered his St. Louis’d. He dead. They shot him.”
Some viewers debated the classification of the steak itself. One comment asserted, “Best steak and sirloin do not belong in the same sentence.” Conversely, another user offered a positive review of the restaurant chain, noting, “Texas Roadhouse is pretty damn good for it being a chain.”
