About

It's a common joke that everything is bigger in Texas. We're pretty sure that isn't true, but we can attest that everything is tastier in Texas. Case in point, the Texas T-Bone: a savory strip of colossal beefy flavor, pan-seared in bacon fat and basted in rich, creamy butter. If that's not giant flavor on a plate, we don't know what is. Don't let the name fool you; Texas T-Bone can be made with any steak you desire. All you need is the meat, the hot stove, and an eager appetite!
