"Texans love steak. What other state has politicians putting forth plans to declare an official state steak? Texas Representative Ken King wants to name the Tomahawk Steak the official steak of Texas, so it comes as no surprise that Texans are 14 times more likely to call steak their state dish than chili, according to NewsWire, and it's their top pick for grilling by a wide margin."
"The dating app Hater compiled user-generated data in 2017 to show what food every state hated most, and well-done steak won hands down in Texas (via Huffington Post). Nearly 60% of Texans prefer to eat their steak medium rare to medium, according to a customer survey by Beef Loving Texans, making it the dominant choice in the best Texas steakhouses. In fact, Dallas-Fort Worth had the highest preference for well-done steak, with just over 16% of people favoring it."
"It may sound like Texans are just being finicky with the ways they cook their steak, but there's more to it than meets the eye. Overcooked steak ( which can be saved) isn't just a personal preference. Those high temperatures are actually bad for the meat and potentially bad for you. The most alarming issue is that meat cooked at high temperatures can create chemicals that may present a higher cancer risk, according to the National Cancer Institute."
Texans strongly favor steak, with proposals to name the Tomahawk Steak as the official state steak and steak being the top grilling choice. Texas produces nearly 15% of U.S. beef. Texans are 14 times more likely to call steak their state dish than chili. Most Texans prefer medium-rare to medium; nearly 60% prefer that range, while well-done preference ranges from about 10% in Austin to just over 16% in Dallas–Fort Worth. Historically, steakhouse menus warned against ordering well-done. Overcooking harms meat quality and can produce chemicals at high temperatures that may increase cancer risk.
