Outback Steakhouse introduced the new Loaded Bloomin' Onion Tuesday, bringing together two of the restaurant's most iconic dishes—the signature Bloomin' Onion and Aussie Cheese Fries. This new Aussie-tizer was inspired by the "Big Australia" menu, which features bigger, Aussie-sized portions of restaurant favorites and exciting new offerings. The limited time menu is available through August 2.

As with Outback's original Bloomin' Onion, the new Loaded Bloom is a shareable, indulgent appetizer. Other new "Big Australia" menu offerings include:

  • 18 ounce Center Cut Sirloin: Seasoned and seared to juicy perfection and served with a signature potato and choice of one freshly made side.
  • New Béarnaise Jumbo Shrimp Topped Filet: Victoria's Filet Mignon topped with four jumbo shrimp and a Béarnaise sauce, served with a signature potato and choice of one freshly made side.
  • New Giant Crab Stuffed Lobster Tail: Premium lump crab cake stuffed in an Aussie-sized jumbo lobster tail and topped with Hollandaise sauce. Served with your choice of two freshly made sides.

"With the new Big Australia menu, we're excited to introduce delicious, generous-sized dishes that reflect the spirit of the 'Bloomin' Big' Australian Dinner Parties taking place at Outbacks nationwide," says Jeff Smith, Outback Steakhouse president.

While the "Big Australia" menu celebrates larger portions, Outback also offers a wide range of dishes to satisfy a variety of dietary needs, tastes and occasions—including several "Under 600 Calorie" appetizer and entrée options including the Crab and Avocado Stack, the 6-ounce Center Cut Sirloin with mixed vegetables, Grilled Chicken on the Barbie or Perfectly Grilled Salmon.
