The resolution recognizes the significant role of the cattle industry in Texas, highlighting its contributions to the state's agricultural economy, job creation, and cultural heritage. It emphasizes the historical importance of beef production, particularly during the late 19th century when Texas ranchers organized cattle drives to meet the growing demand for beef in urban centers. Today, Texas is the leading beef producer in the United States, with a rich culinary tradition that includes iconic steak dishes, particularly the strip steak, which has strong ties to the state's ranching culture.

In light of this legacy, the resolution proposes designating the "Texas strip steak" as the official State Steak of Texas. This designation aims to honor the state's agricultural heritage and the contributions of ranchers, farmers, and chefs to Texas's food culture. The resolution encourages Texans and food establishments to adopt the name "Texas strip steak" and directs the Texas Department of Agriculture to promote it as part of efforts to support Texas beef and agricultural products.
