Going out for a gluten free steak is an easy one. You just have to know that what they marinade it in or season it with is gluten free. You may also want to ask that they put a piece of aluminum foil under it while cooking so that it isn't cross contaminated by anything that might have been on the grill already. Below are some restaurants where I've enjoyed a steak without any adverse reactions. I will add to and modify this list as necessary.
The C-Level Bar and Grill (Thomas Drive, Panama City Beach) -- ask them not to use the steak sauce, which is sometimes GF and sometimes maybe not. The grouper, new potatoes, deviled eggs and salad without croutons are also safe.
Black Angus (Hwy 98, Panama City) -- the steaks, baked potatoes, salad without croutons are all fine for GF diners.
Los Antojitos (Hwy 98, Panama City) -- the steak is great. The house margaritas suck -- but, like all margaritas, are gluten-free.
Bonefish Grill, Outback Steak House, and Carrabba's Italian Grill are all owned by the same company and all have gluten-free menus -- and for the most part, their employees know about GF diets and how important it is to not cross-contaminate.
As always, let the server know that you are gluten intolerant so the kitchen folks know to be careful about cross contamination.
If I were gluten free I would carry my own spices with me.
