Texas Lt Governor attempts to rebrand New York strip steak, gets grilled in the process

Dan Patrick, the Lieutenant Governor of Texas, wants to take back one of the most popular cuts of meat in America.

The New York strip is one of the most recognizable cuts of steak in the country, but according to Patrick, the blue state shouldn’t be getting all the credit.

Look:

: Factoid: Texas has about 12.2 million head of cattle, the most in America. I met with the Texas Cattle Feeders and Cattle Raisers this week.

Out of curiosity, I asked each of them their favorite cut of meat. A few said New York Strip. I asked why we didn’t call it a…

“Factoid: Texas has about 12.2 million head of cattle, the most in America. I met with the Texas Cattle Feeders and Cattle Raisers this week,” he wrote on X.

“Out of curiosity, I asked each of them their favorite cut of meat. A few said New York Strip. I asked why we didn’t call it a ‘Texas Strip’ because New York has mostly dairy cows. Just because a New York restaurant named Texas beef a New York Strip in the 19th century doesn’t mean we need to keep doing that.”

“The Texas Senate will file a concurrent resolution to officially change the name of the New York Strip to the ‘Texas Strip’ in the Lone Star State. We ask restaurants to change the name of this strip of meat the next time they reprint their menus, and grocery stores to do the same. We want this to catch on across the country and around the globe,” he added. “In a world filled with serious issues that we address every day at the Texas Capitol, this simple resolution will help better market Texas beef. That’s good for the Texas cattle industry. The Cattle Associations sure liked the idea.”

“Liberal New York shouldn’t get the credit for our hard-working ranchers. We promote the Texas brand on everything made or grown in Texas because it benefits our economy and jobs. After the session ends this summer, I might take a short cruise across the Gulf of America and have a juicy medium-rare Texas Strip.”

X users had a lot to say about the suggestion:

That’s great, but if you guys don’t address property taxes, many Texans will lose their own Texas strip of land.

Great idea! Lt Governor @DanPatrick please protect our beef from ever being injected by mRNA shots. Please protect our Texas beef & chickens.

I like it too, but u need to have more small cattle ranchers with cattle than large ones and Texas beef needs to be the best in the world. Game on! Go Texas!

The way you are allowing all the farmland to be developed it won’t be much longer

Let’s worry about why there is a wait to process beef here in Texas and what we can do to expedite the wait. We need more beef processors or less regulation. Why can’t a farmer process his own cow and sell the meat?

I’m in! Will be ordering a “Texas Strip” ASAP.
