El Paso, TX (KFOX14) — Great American Steakhouse is pairing made-in-house ingredients with a value-focused menu designed to offer something for a range of appetites.

Chef Carlos Castillo joined Daytime to showcase several items from the restaurant’s 10-item menu, including its popular steakburger, shrimp Alfredo and a lineup of margaritas.

Castillo said the menu was introduced about two years ago as the restaurant looked for a way to keep meals accessible during difficult economic times. He said it has since become a major hit with customers.

“We have to have accessible food for everybody,” Castillo said.

The steakburger is one of the restaurant’s biggest sellers. Castillo said Great American grinds its own beef using a blend of ribeye and sirloin. The restaurant also makes its bread fresh every day, while the burger patties are prepared multiple times each week.

“Everything is as fresh as possible,” he said.

Castillo said the 10-item menu includes burgers, tacos and pasta dishes, providing what he described as a little something for everybody.

One featured pasta, the shrimp Alfredo, is prepared with house-made Alfredo sauce, roasted portobello mushrooms, asparagus and peppers. The dish comes with eight jumbo shrimp.

For Castillo, the Great American approach is intentionally uncomplicated.

“It’s simple, good food made right,” he said. “Good ingredients, good techniques. Don’t get too crazy with it.”

The segment also highlighted strawberry, mango and classic margarita options. Castillo also mentioned a tamarind flavor and said the drinks can be ordered on the rocks.

Asked what he would pair with a margarita, Castillo selected the steakburger, although he added that margaritas go with just about anything.

Castillo said the value menu is available at Great American Steakhouse locations Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
