The term’s exact origins are obscure, but it is often tied to Delmonico’s, founded in 1827 and regarded as the first restaurant in the United States. The cut known as a Delmonico steak may have once referred to a strip steak, although on the current menu it’s used to mean a rib-eye. In any case, the cut caught on around the city.

Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said “Texas strip steak” would better reflect the Lone Star State’s status as the cow capital of America.

Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, a Republican, took to social media to announce legislation renaming a cut of beef from the New York Strip to the "Texas Strip", whilst having said nothing about the measles outbreak the state is currently battling.
