New at Outback Steakhouse - Steak Flights

I had the privilege of attending a special event for select Yelp Elites at Outback Steakhouse in Hawaii Kai.  The event was designed to introduce us to a few of Outback's new menu items.  It was a great event and I would like to thank Yelp Hawaii and Outback Steakhouse for providing this complimentary tasting.

The evening started with a sample of one of their new appetizers on the menu - the crab and avocado stack.  What a great way to start the evening.  The combination of crab, avocado, tomato basil and white corn chips was heavenly.

Next came the Steak Flights, consisting of two 3 oz. pieces of sirloin, and one 3 oz. piece of filet mignon.  The steaks were served on pieces of crispy potato cakes.  While customers will get to choose one of four sauces (creamy diablo sauce, brandy peppercorn sauce, Bernaise sauce, and wild mushroom sauce) to go with their steaks, we got to sample all four.  My favorite was the wild mushroom since it was the least spicy.

We also got to sample their new cake pops - cheesecake melba, chocolate peanut butter, and carrot cake.  The cheesecake and chocolate peanut butter were both too rich for my taste, but the carrot cake was perfect.
