Sweet & Spicy Strip Steak Recipe Inspired by Texas

This post is sponsored by Ozarka. All opinions are my own.

I am a Texan. Born and raised. Although I’ve lived all across the U.S.A. and traveled around the world, the Lone Star State keeps drawing me back.

Texas is unlike any place on the planet. With its diverse cultures, friendly people, breathtaking landscapes, innovative music, and delicious food, Texas has everything you’d want to live a happy life.

Speaking of food, our cuisine is top-notch. Drawing from Mexican, Cajun, Creole, German, Czech, and Native American influences, Texas cooking is truly unique.

When I cook, I like to use locally sourced products.

Texas produces a wide range of specialty products that chefs love to use. To highlight some of my favorite local products, I’ve created a fantastic meal using the best ingredients Texas has to offer.
