Texas is the land of meat. I mean, let’s face it – we think we have the best BBQ in the country (We do!), we will fight over burnt ends, and we love to walk around the State Fair of Texas nibbling on a giant turkey leg. We love meat – and three local restaurants are ready to feed our obsession.

Here are three hearty meat dishes no serious meat lover would ever think of passing up.

Where: Y.O. Ranch Steakhouse
What: Tomahawk Steak – this 44 Farms Tomahawk Ribeye is carved tableside and serves at least two

Don’t let this photo fool you. This steak is bib, but don’t be shy. Grab a friend, pair this steak with a couple of Y. O House salads, and dig right in. You can order it however you eat your steaks – rare, medium rare, medium well (my favorite) or well.

What: Turkey Cobb Leg for 2 – comes with local greens, St. Pete’s Bleu, grapes, mustard and bacon jus

Shock and awe abounds when the dish is presented at the table. The turkey leg is served to guests whole, on a wood board – perfect for a hungry duo who enjoy ripping right into a hunk of meat.

Where: Ten50 BBQ
What: Beef Rib – large enough for two, the beef rib at Ten50 is one of the largest pieces of meat you’ll find in the DFW area

If you love ribs, this is for you. Juicy and tender, the meat will literally fall off the bone. Enjoy these ribs with a baked potato and their amazing Hot Southern Yeast Rolls. You won’t be sorry you did!
