16 Oz. Filet; Brownie Sundae for desert. It will change your life.
The Woodlands is a drive, but if the steak is as good as you make it out to be I will have to take a weekend with my wife and go get a good steak.
I’ve had quite a few different types of beef… I think the fat content on wagyu grassfed is pretty darn good, problem is most of the animals are imported from Australia.
What I tend to go for are more locally sourced, grassfed meats. That means meat pretty much directly from local ranches… Usually you get what you are paying for and you get an idea of what the animal was eating when you taste the fat. Local meat from my area has a slightly grassy, weedy, hay sort of flavor to it, it’s very slight and very good.
The meat I found surprisingly amazing is Ostrich… Just don’t cook it too hot…

There’s a finishing house a few miles away that supplies a lot of local restaurants and stores. My sister and I go to pretty often. They have a pasture of their own stock of lamb, cows, pigs, turkeys and chickens. If you want you can even go out and pick your own cow or what ever- if you’re buying the whole thing.
Everything there is awesome. The lamb chops are out of this world, and their apple smoked ham and pork chops are incomparable to anything.

That’s what it’s all about outside of game meats, pasture raised foods on land that has usually been owned by the same families for generations, sausage and cured meats that have been perfected over generations as well. I’ve been digging beef sausages that are safe to eat bloody from my local spot.
We also have a local ostrich rancher. Just he doesn’t show up at the farmers markets so have to drive out to him.
