Arby’s brings the steak to the nugget party
Arby’s is bringing its legendary “We Have the Meats” slogan to new heights. The fast-food chain officially introduced its brand-new Steak Nuggets, which it called a “first-of-its-kind” product that blends the flavor of premium-quality steak and nugget ease.
Individually hand-cut and served in bite-sized portions, Arby’s new nuggets are “tender, juicy, hand-cut bite-sized pieces of steak seasoned with garlic and pepper.” Expect a strong, smoky taste that’s different from anything available on fast-food menus today.
Arby’s Chief Marketing Officer Jeff Baker said the inspiration was as basic as a challenge: how to make steak more convenient to eat on the go. Who doesn’t love good and tasty steak?” Baker said in a release. “But, until today, it’s not been convenient to eat, particularly on the go. That’s why we created this new innovative product. Two of America’s favourite foods – nuggets and steak – combined to create Arby’s Steak Nuggets. No knife needed, fork optional.”

The new addition is a delicious twist for steak lovers who require something easy but not lacking in flavor — perfect for busy days, grab-and-go meals, or late-night cravings.
A Twist of Gourmet on a Classic Favorite
Arby’s is known for reimagining traditional fast food, and these Steak Nuggets are no exception. They take the comfort of home-style finger food and pair it with the satisfaction of seasoned steak.
Initial customer feedback from those who received an early taste during Arby’s limited regional test earlier this year was mostly positive. Most fans online cited the juicy texture and smoky flavour in the praise, stating that the Steak Nuggets provided something entirely different from traditional chicken nuggets.
With this debut, Arby’s joins the growing list of fast-food restaurants with more upscale protein options. And for meat lovers who would rather have steak than chicken, this menu option is a sure bet.
Three ways to enjoy Arby’s steak nuggets
Arby’s isn’t stopping at one variety—the Steak Nuggets will come in three varieties for different cravings:
Steak Nuggets Entrée (5- or 9-count): Served with Arby’s Hickory BBQ sauce to dip.
Steak Nugget Sandwich: A hearty handheld that combines steak nuggets with Havarti cheese, crispy onions, zesty pickles, and mayo on a toasted bun.
Steak Nugget Bowl: For a little extra comfort, this bowl features steak nuggets loaded over creamy white cheddar mac ‘n cheese, topped with crispy onions.
Whichever way you choose, Arby’s promises the same tender, garlicky flavour and smoky aroma that makes steak one of the crowd favourites.
