I'm not sure when they began the menu, but our family has been using it since January of this year. Basically the menu covers gluten-free food choices an it even includes dessert items. You can view the gluten-free menu on the Outback Steakhouse website @ http://www.outbacksteakhouse.com/ *Just choose "flash" or "non-flash" and it will take to to the site. Then you can click on "Menu" and at the bottom of the page where it states (in tiny lettering)::: "Outback Steakhouse, in cooperation with the Gluten Intolerance Group TM, are now providing a Gluten-Free Menu. Click here for more information.
You will be able to view the menu from there. When we dine at the restaurants, I'm always sure to connect with the proprietor on duty and they usually end up doing the food preparation just to be sure that there is no 'cross-contamination' in the process.
With Celiac Disease, it's very important that special preparations are made to ensure safety. *For instance, you would not be able to slice a tomato on the same board with the same knife a sandwich may have been cut on, etc. It's kinda tricky, but do-able, given the cooks and servers "get it" when you explain what needs to be done.
Also, the Celiac Society (CSA/USA) offers 'dining cards' to hand out to restaurants for their staff to use in food preparation. It just basically simplifies your needs in a friendly way and also educates them with the knowledge they might need in accommodating you or other "celiacs" in the future. 
Have fun checking out the site... Outback is my daughter's fav.
