SCR 26 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Designating the Texas strip steak as the official State Steak of Texas and directing the Texas Department of Agriculture to promote the Texas strip steak as part of efforts to support Texas beef and agricultural products.

This concurrent resolution designates the "Texas strip steak" as the official State Steak of Texas, recognizing the state's prominence in beef production and culinary heritage. It directs the Texas Department of Agriculture to promote the Texas strip steak as part of efforts supporting Texas beef and agricultural products. The resolution primarily affects Texas residents, restaurants, chefs, and the state's agricultural industry by symbolically honoring Texas-raised beef. It does not change the cut's name in commerce but encourages adoption of the term to reflect Texas' role in the beef industry. (Note: This is a ceremonial resolution, not a binding law.)
