Americans have declared that steak is the best meal to impress a date with on Valentine's Day, according to the 2014 New American Romance Study commissioned by Outback Steakhouse®[i]. Luckily, no one has to wait until Valentine's Day to make an impression this year thanks to Outback's Steak Menu for Two, available all week long. And for those who may have been burned by a Valentine's date fail in the past, Outback is offering the chance to win a $50 Outback gift card to do-over that date gone wrong.

Outback's Steak Menu for Two is available from Feb. 10th – Feb. 16th, with special lunch hours starting at 11 a.m. offered nationwide on Feb. 14th. The special menu includes a Bloomin' Onion appetizer and Classic Cheesecake to share, paired with two of Outback's favorite steak entrees, including:

Two 6-ounce Sirloins

Two 9-ounce Sirloins

Two 6-ounce Filets

One Bone-in Ribeye & one Filet, one of Outback's most popular combos

And for a truly impressive meal, lobster tails are 50% off when added to the Steak Menu for Two

"Valentine's Day is the most important date night of the year," said Mike Kappitt, Outback Steakhouse® Chief Marketing Officer. "Fortunately, this year, Outback is helping you avoid a 'mis-steak' and do Valentine's 'Just Right' with our special Steak Menu for Two, available all week long."

In addition, those in need of more than a great meal this Valentine's Day – perhaps to make up for a past Valentine's Day fail – can enter the #BloominDoOver sweepstakes for a chance to win a $50 Outback gift card for a date do-over.
