There’s something profound in the nature of flavor. It’s woven into our senses, our roots, our souls. It is a deep connection to our past, to those we care about and to our story ahead.
This is why we are Beef Loving Texans. We’re a breed of folks who are passionate about what we eat, where it comes from and how it’s prepared. Because every meal, from a five-star steakhouse to your family’s backyard grill, should be an opportunity to savor.
And we’re always hungry for more … more to try, more to enjoy and more to share with those closest to us. Even when they’re far away.
Beef Loving Texans is a community built to celebrate limitless flavors, possibilities, stories and experiences that make beef a Texas institution. We believe in Real. Joy. Together. Real, honest food that nourishes hardworking, fun-loving people. Delicious and diverse recipes and new ideas that bring us joy — even if it’s just a little something bolder on a random Tuesday night.
It’s about the simple moments that, in one bite, remind us of good times spent together, and make us crave more to come.
We welcome all Texans, tried-and-true to brand-spanking-new, and are ready to
make sure every meal brings more of us to the table. So, here’s a quick quiz to tell you what type of Beef Loving Texan you are:

Add cumin, Mexican oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook the spices until fragrant. Return beef to the pot and pour in the chili paste and stir to coat the beef mixture. Add the beer and beef broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to LOW, cover, and simmer chili for about 2 hours until Sirloin is tender.
Add masa harina to the chili and cook an additional 30 minutes until the chili has thickened.
Add desired toppings and serve.
Preheat a large Dutch oven over MEDIUM-HIGH heat until hot. Add oil and Sirloin and brown 8-10 minutes. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pot. Remove beef; set aside.
Add the onion to the Dutch oven and cook, stirring occasionally until tender, approximately 4-7 minutes. Add garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

4 of 4
1 lb. shabu-shabu beef
½ (14 oz.) packaged firm tofu, patted dry, 2-inch chunks
1 tsp. Canola oil
1-quart beef broth
¾ cup soy sauce
⅔ cup mirin
3 Tbsp. sake
2 Tbsp. brown sugar
2 (7-8 oz.) shirataki noodle packages, rinsed and drained
2 bundles (3-4 oz.) oyster or enoki mushrooms
8 shiitake mushrooms, stems removed
6-8 large Napa or green cabbage leaves, or bok choy
2 jalapeños, stemmed and thinly sliced
1 bunch garlic chives and/or green onions
1 small daikon or lotus root, peeled and thinly sliced
1 small white onion, wedges
Ingredients
Serve with gochujang on the side, spooning some of the hot broth over the cooked items to enjoy while eating, too.
*Alternately, use Korean dangmyeon (sweet potato) noodles, prepared according to package instructions.
Meanwhile, arrange beef, noodles, mushrooms, cabbage, jalapeños, garlic chives, daikon, and onion on large plates or platters on the table.
Using chopsticks, small hot pot strainers, and tongs, prepare the ingredients on the table by dipping them, one-by-one, into the simmering broth until cooked or warmed through for the beef, tofu, and noodles, or until crisp-tender for the vegetables, ranging from about 30 seconds for the beef to 4 minutes for some of the vegetables, depending on the ingredient.
Heat a large, nonstick skillet over MEDIUM-HIGH heat. Brush tofu all over with oil and sear on all sides until just golden brown, 8-10 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Place a hot pot or hot plate in the center of the table and heat according to manufacturer’s instructions. In the hot pot, or a medium pot arranged on the hot plate, bring broth, soy sauce, mirin, sake, and brown sugar to a gentle simmer, stirring to dissolve the sugar (adjust the heat to maintain the simmer throughout the meal).
