Carrabba's Old Smokey Steak
This isn't just any steak recipe. This steak recipe is the legendary steak that is still served today at the two original Carrabba's locations in Houston, TX. Johnny Carrabba's Grandmother taught him how to grill steaks on the Old Smokey using the Old Smokey BBQ Sauce recipe that used to be included in the Old Smokey instruction manual. Nowadays, you can find it right here, on the Old Smokey website as well as in Johnny Carrabba's cookbook!
