Outback Steak House Lettuce Wedge Salad

I simply adore this copycat recipe for Outback Steak House Lettuce Wedge Salad. It’s sooooo good! I think it’s better than Outbacks.

Outback wedge salads are generously layered on top of the iceberg wedge with crispy bacon bits, sweet red onion, and juicy tomatoes.

This classic combination of flavors in this wedge salad recipe never fails to satisfy.

The toasted pecans are an optional item on the menu but they just make the salad to me!

The dressing is superb! I think I’ve found my new salad and dressing!!!

Recipe Notes

You can serve this recipe as a starter salad or as a main course.

Wedge salads are delicious and one of my favorites. I also like the fact they they are pretty universal in most restaurants. Order a wedge salad and you can pretty much count on what you’re going to get!

Iceberg lettuce sometimes gets a bad rap but I find the combination of the creamy blue cheese dressing to be complemented by the light crispness of the iceberg lettuce.

Very nice. Very mild. Very crispy.

You can use different seasonings but it’s the potato flakes that make all the difference. The fish browns up so nice and crisp.

  • 1 teaspoon mustard regular or Dijon
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 small onion finely grated
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

  1. Lightly oil your grill & heat BBQ to medium.
  2. Whisk the egg in a bowl and add the next 6 ingredients.
  3. Crumble in the beef and, using your hands or a fork, gently mix together. Handle the meat as little as possible – the more you work it, the tougher it gets.
  4. Gently shape (don’t firmly press) the mixture into burgers about ¾ inch thick.
  5. Using your thumb, make a shallow depression in the center of each burger to prevent puffing up during cooking.
  6. Place the burgers on the grill, close the lid and BBQ until NO LONGER PINK INSIDE, turning once, about 6 – 8 minutes per side.
  7. An instant read thermometer should read 160F.
  8. Don't abuse your burgers by pressing with a spatula, pricking with a fork or turning frequently as precious juices will be lost!

  9. Tuck into a warm crusty bun & add your favorite toppings.
