IHOP Big Steak Omelette

The Big Steak Omelette is IHOP’s heavyweight breakfast: a fluffy omelette+ stuffed with steak, hash browns, peppers, onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, and Cheddar, served with salsa. It costs $18.99 with 1,020 calories.

“Your hunger won’t be at steak with this one” — IHOP’s pun tells you exactly who this is for. This guide breaks down the steak-lover’s build, explains the omelette+ difference, and runs the protein math.

Big Steak Omelette: Price, Calories & Essentials

IHOP’s official description: “Your hunger won’t be at steak with this one. Our omelette+ stuffed with steak, hash browns, green peppers, onions, mushrooms, tomatoes & Cheddar cheese. Served with our salsa.” See the IHOP omelette menu for the full lineup.

The Steak Lover’s Build: What’s Inside

The hash browns INSIDE the omelette are the genius move — crispy potato folded into fluffy egg is a textural contrast most omelettes never attempt. It turns the omelette into a complete meal rather than just eggs with filling.

The steak is the headline, but the supporting cast matters: peppers and onions bring the fajita profile, mushrooms add umami depth, and the salsa on the side lets you control the acidity. Every component earns its place.

Omelette+: What the Plus Means

Since the March 2026 “Stuffed ‘N Stacked” rebrand, IHOP’s omelettes are “omelette+” — made with a splash of buttermilk and wheat pancake batter folded into the eggs. The result: a fluffier, slightly richer omelette with a hint of pancake flavor.

The batter splash is IHOP’s differentiator — no other major chain does this. It makes the omelette thicker and more satisfying, which matters for a 1,020-calorie build like this one. The Big Steak Omelette needs structural integrity to hold its loaded filling, and the omelette+ base delivers it.

1,020 Calories: The Protein Math

At 1,020 calories, this is a serious breakfast — but it is protein-forward calories, not empty ones. The steak, eggs, and Cheddar deliver a massive protein payload that will keep you full for hours. This is fuel, not indulgence.

Compare within the omelette lineup: Colorado (1,240) and Cheeseburger (1,430) run heavier; Chicken Fajita (890) and Spinach & Mushroom (890) run lighter. The Big Steak Omelette sits in the hearty middle — substantial without being the heaviest option.

The honest framing: order this when you are genuinely hungry or need lasting energy. It is the omelette equivalent of the Pancake Combo — a complete meal, not a light bite. See the nutrition guide for the full breakdown.

Customization: Your Steak, Your Rules

• Side choice: every omelette comes with a side — hash browns double down, fresh fruit lightens it up.
• Extra salsa: ask for salsa on the side — the acidity cuts through the richness.
• Cheese swap: ask about pepper jack for a spicy kick (varies by location).
• Egg whites: available on request for a lighter base with the same filling.
• Add avocado: avocado slices add creaminess and healthy fats (ask — availability varies).
• Hot sauce: the steak-fajita profile begs for hot sauce — Cholula or Tabasco both work.

Verdict: The Heavyweight Champion

The Big Steak Omelette is IHOP’s most substantial omelette — steak, hash browns, and a loaded vegetable lineup in a fluffy omelette+ base. It is the breakfast for people who mean business.

Order it when: you are seriously hungry, you want maximum protein, or steak for breakfast sounds perfect. Order the Colorado Omelette when: you want even more meat variety; order Chicken Fajita when: you want the fajita profile lighter.

Your hunger won’t be at steak with this one. The pun is earned.
