How Does Texas Roadhouse Get Smoke Flavor In Its Steaks? - Tasting Table
Briefly

To introduce a smokey flavor using a flat-top grill, Texas Roadhouse places a foil packet of wood chips on the grill alongside the steak. The wood chips heat up and release smoke which infuses into the meat, providing that desired smoky flavor even without traditional smoking methods.
The flat-top grill's solid surface allows for more even heat distribution and greater surface area, enabling Texas Roadhouse to cook multiple steaks at once, improving efficiency in the kitchen while ensuring each steak is seared perfectly.
Using a flat top grill allows for better control over the cooking process. It provides a uniform cooking surface that doesn't require constant vigilance, unlike gas grills, making it easier for cooks to achieve the perfect steak.
While you may not achieve grill marks with a flat top grill, the benefits of easy maintenance and even cooking make it a preferred choice for producing high-quality steaks at Texas Roadhouse.
