Steak is often seen as a symbol of luxury, and it can certainly be pricey. But there are plenty of places that sell it for less than you might think, if you know where to look. Lately, it looks like you don’t have to work too hard as fast food restaurants continue to release new steak dishes, from towering sandwiches to breakfast burritos.
Many of these newly launched items pay homage to the iconic Philly cheesesteak, perhaps as an antidote to chicken fatigue. Whatever the reason, the thinly sliced steak – traditionally the rib eye – combined with gooey cheese, is a classic that many can’t pass up, especially at these prices. Everything on this list is huge and fills up for less than $10.
Here are five of your favorite fast food outlets serving up six hearty steak dishes.
Domino’s is known for its pizza, but the chain launched a few Hail Mary appetizers just before the Super Bowl. As part of his trio of Loaded Tots, he included a Philly Cheese Steak option that ticked all the boxes.
We sampled all three limited time offerings, and the steak one was by far the tastiest. Tots were perfectly crispy in the chain’s hot pizza ovens and topped with thin slices of steak, sautéed onions and green peppers held together with gooey layers of mozzarella and cheddar cheese and Alfredo sauce.
Loaded Tots are available for $6.99 each as part of Domino’s Mix & Match offer.

Arby’s Garlic Ribeye Sandwich is packed with hearty slices of real ribeye, which many chefs — and everyday people — consider the tastiest cut of steak. While it might be a messy affair, according to our proprietary taste test, the sandwich definitely tastes like a big steak. Soft garlic roll, melted Swiss cheese and crispy onions add depth to this sandwich.
Like most items on this list, it’s available for a limited time for around $7, depending on location.
Hardee’s and Carl’s Jr., which is the same chain with different regional names, launched two new steakhouses in early February. They should be in stores for a limited time.
The first is a new burger in its Thickburger range. If you really want to go all out for beef, Hardee’s Philly Cheesesteak Angus Thickburger has what you’re looking for. For this massive sandwich, the ⅓-pound chain’s signature burger is topped with thinly sliced rib eye, onions, peppers and melted cheese, all on a mayo-slathered grilled potato bun. The cost of the Philly Cheesesteak Angus Thickburger varies depending on your location and restaurant, but is usually under $8.
Although throwing a Philly cheesesteak on a burger sounds like an over the top move, Hardee’s also has a burger called Monster Double Thickburger. This monstrosity tops the paltry 810 calories of this 510-calorie Philly Cheesesteak Angus Thickburger.
If you’re looking for a Philly cheesesteak breakfast experience, Hardee’s/Carl’s Jr. locations have you covered. Instead of a burger, you can get the same thinly sliced rib eye, fire-roasted onions, green peppers, and melted cheese with eggs in a warm tortilla. This hand steak experience is 550 calories. The burrito is in the $5 range depending on which restaurant you visit.
Late last year, Sonic added its Grilled Cheese Steaks. The chain has daringly combined bacon and steak for the Steak and Bacon Grilled Cheese, which is offered in regular and spicy versions. The original sandwich features two pieces of thick Texan toast stuffed with melted American cheese, sliced steak, grilled onions, crispy bacon, barbecue sauce and mayonnaise. The spicy version replaces the barbecue sauce with a tangy cheese sauce and jalapeño.
Prices vary by location, but these sandwiches have been reported to be a bargain at around $5. Both sandwiches will only be available until February 26. As you would expect, they have a high calorie price tag at 830 and 890 calories respectively.
No dish is more in demand on McDonlad’s social media — with the possible exception of the beloved Snack Wrap — than the steak, egg and cheese bagel. Late last year, McDonald’s brought its bagel sandwiches back to the menu in select locations. Definitely a must try if you are a fan of the iconic steak and egg breakfast.
The Steak, Egg and Cheese Bagel offers a surprisingly tasty bagel with a steak patty, sautéed onions and American cheese. The sandwich’s subtly spiced steak and premium cheese helped it win our breakfast bagel taste test. Again, this is available for a limited time, but McDonald’s doesn’t say how long it will last.
