Summer is coming and Longhorn Steakhouse is gearing up for the season by expanding its Grill Master Favorites menu. With the addition of the new Fire-Grilled Hawaiian Ribeye and Citrus-Herb Chimichurri Salmon, you can leave the [summer grilling](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summer-of-smash-menu) to Longhorn.

Longhorn Steakhouse's new Fire-Grilled Hawaiian Ribeye takes a piece of well-marbled cut of ribeye, marinades it in a ginger-teriyaki sauce, and the fire-grills it. The whole thing is also served with slices of [fire-grilled pineapple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taste-of-the-tropics-menu) to bring out the sweet and smokey flavors.

For those who prefer surf over turf, the Grill Master Favorites menu also include the new Citrus-Herb Chimichurri Salmon. This dish starts with a filet of [fresh Atlantic salmon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/red-lobster-crabfest-menu), which is seared with a zesty citrus-herb chimichurri coating. The salmon is served on a bed of seasoned rice alongside your choice of two sides.
