$25 Outback Gift Card Giveaway & Recipe

If you’re like me you have a daily struggle with eating out and saving money. I love eating out but hate looking at the bill when it comes. Luckily many restaurants are now offering menu options for us cost observant customers.

In February Outback launched a new menu – 15 meals under 15 dollars. Matt and I love Outback and ordered off this new menu last month. Options start at $9.95 and they have something for everyone including my favorite, a classic steak. (Boring I know but it’s just so good).

Not only are the traditional Outback items available at a great price they’ve also beefed up their selection by adding new options in this promotion. Some of the most popular options are:

Savory Pepper Mill Steak: Thick slices of New York Strip Steak (cooked to order) encrusted with cracked black pepper and topped with a savory brandy cream sauce. Served atop golden potato wedges.

Sweet Glazed Roast Pork Tenderloin: Sliced slow-roasted pork Tenderloin drizzled with a sweet tangy glaze. Served with garlic mashed potatoes and fresh steamed French green beans.

Ribs and Alice Spring Chicken: a 1/3 rack of savory fall-off-the-bone baby back ribs paired with a tasty 5oz grilled chicken breast topped with bacon, honey mustard sauce, sautéed mushrooms, Monterey Jack and Cheddar. Served with Aussie Fries.

Shrimp en Fuego: Large crispy shrimp, sliced mushrooms and fresh tomatoes in a spicy, creamy sauce. Paired with fresh steamed French green beans.
