\"\"<\/p>\n

Steak Nuggets are officially back at Arby\u2019s for a limited time, now slow cooked and juicier than ever, and they\u2019ve been keeping busy ever since.<\/p>\n

Built on 100% steak and packed with protein, Steak Nuggets have made their way across social feeds, college football sidelines and pro football kick off weekend. Now, Arby\u2019s is giving fans 100,000 more reasons to try the returning menu item for themselves.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a look at how Steak Nuggets and Arby\u2019s have been keeping it 100.<\/p>\n

Meet the Grown-Up Nugget<\/p>\n

Not all nuggets are created equal.<\/p>\n

In Arby\u2019s latest social collaboration, reality TV star, model and influencer Caleb McDaniel brings his signature southern charm to a date-night setting and encourages fans to trade the nuggets they grew up with for something a little more mature.<\/p>\n

Dressed in a crisp white suit, Caleb encourages his date to leave \u201cquestionable chicken nuggets\u201d in the past and upgrade to Arby\u2019s Steak Nuggets, bite-sized pieces of steak paired with the all-new Horsey Ranch sauce. It\u2019s the quality upgrade grown-up nugget fans deserve, served with a side of Caleb\u2019s playful personality.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know a thing or two about growing up in front of an audience, so helping Arby\u2019s introduce a more grown-up nugget felt like the perfect fit,\u201d said Caleb McDaniel. \u201cSteak Nuggets are made with 100% steak, packed with protein and even better dipped in Horsey Ranch. That\u2019s what I call keeping it 100.\u201d<\/p>\n

100,000 Reasons to Celebrate<\/p>\n

Steak Nuggets are built on 100% steak. So naturally, Arby\u2019s is celebrating with 100,000 free orders.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s 100,000 chances to keep it 100.<\/p>\n

A Fan\u2019s Dream Football Weekend<\/p>\n

What do you get when an everyday fan has the opportunity to help call the opening play of a Division I football game? At The University of Akron, one fan traded the stands for the sidelines through the school\u2019s Offensive Coordinator of the Game program.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As part of the school\u2019s partnership with Arby\u2019s, the winning fan\u2019s experience went from a contest prize to a full-fledged game-day journey. The Offensive Coordinator of the Game met with Head Coach Joe Moorhead to review the opening-drive script, received custom Arby\u2019s x University of Akron gear and gained behind-the-scenes access leading into kickoff.<\/p>\n

Steak Nuggets even made their way to campus, where the Arby\u2019s Food Truck fueled the Akron football team and staff before game day.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

From arriving at the stadium in style to walking the field during warmups and taking in the action from the sidelines, fans were able to follow the new coach\u2019s journey from the playbook session through kickoff. It was a football weekend the winning fan won\u2019t soon forget.<\/p>\n

Not a bad way to spend game day.<\/p>\n

Steak Nuggets Go Pro<\/p>\n

College football wasn\u2019t the only field where Steak Nuggets showed up.<\/p>\n

To celebrate the return of game days, Arby\u2019s teamed up with content creator and Minnesota Vikings football WAG Isabella Fries to showcase how Steak Nuggets fit perfectly into the heart of football season. Izzy put Steak Nuggets and Horsey Ranch sauce (and of course, Curly Fries) front and center in pregame content that gave fans a relatable taste of football weekend traditions.<\/p>\n

During pro football\u2019s opening weekend, Steak Nuggets and Horsey Ranch sauce also appeared on CBS Sports\u2019 NFL on the Road ahead of the Week 1 matchup of the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings. Television host, football commentator and former wide receiver Nate Burleson brought Steak Nuggets to the desk for a little early-game tailgating, giving the crew a taste of the returning fan favorite and its all-new sauce.<\/p>\n

And for anyone who thinks Horsey Ranch deserves a little more attention, the dipping doesn\u2019t have to stop with Steak Nuggets. Guests can pair it with other Arby\u2019s favorites, including Curly Fries, or use it to add a little extra kick to their order.<\/p>\n
