Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick has proposed a resolution to rename the popular cut of beef known as the “New York Strip” to the “Texas Strip” within the Lone Star State.

At a public event last week, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said higher ed would get less funding if they don’t “kick DEI out of their schools,” a few weeks after lawmakers proposed a massive cut to public universities.

Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick has real beef with the term "New York strip." On Friday, Patrick took to X, formerly Twitter, to announce his gripe with the term and declared that the steak should be called "Texas strip.

In an exclusive interview, the powerful Republican cast major doubt on the future of the 33-year-old, state-run gaming operation.

Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick wants to change the name of the New York Strip. He says calling it a Texas Strip will help promote beef from the Lone Star State. Patrick says a concurrent resolution to make the change will be filed in the Texas Senate.

Texas may officially rename New York strip steak after in a slap to the “liberal” Empire State that promotes local beef — but may fire up an interstate beef instead. Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said “Texas strip steak” would better reflect the Lone Star State’s status as the cow capital of America.

Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said the Texas Senate would work to change the name of the New York Strip to the “Texas Strip.” The change would apply to the cuts of meat in the Lone Star State only.

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.
