AUSTIN, Texas — President Donald Trump renamed a body of water. Now, Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick says he wants to change the name of a steak.

In a post to X on Friday afternoon, Patrick said a resolution will be filed to rename the “New York Strip” to the “Texas Strip” at restaurants and grocery stores here in the Lone Star State. He noted that Texas leads the nation with around 12.2 million head of cattle.

Patrick floated the idea to Texas Cattle Feeders and Cattle Raisers this week.

“Out of curiosity, I asked each of them their favorite cut of meat,” Patrick posted. “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.”

According to Patrick’s post, the Texas Senate will file a resolution to make it official. He said he’s asking restaurants to change the name on menus next time they’re printed. He said he’s also asking grocery stores to do the same and hopes it catches on around the country and worldwide.

“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,” Patrick wrote. “That’s good for the Texas cattle industry. The Cattle Associations sure liked the idea.“
