Morphology

steakhouse = steak + house (transparent) = steak + house

The meaning is a straightforward compound of 'steak' (the food) + 'house' (a place/building), yielding a restaurant specialising in steaks.

Etymology

The word steakhouse is simply steak 'a thick piece of meat' plus house 'a place'. So a steakhouse is a 'house' where steak is the main dish.
