Texas-style barbecue
Lone Star meat
Texas-style barbecue is a regional tradition centered on beef, especially brisket, smoked low and slow over wood—typically post oak.
The meat takes center stage, with minimal seasoning (often just salt and pepper) and sauce served on the side if at all.
Central Texas style from places like Lockhart is considered the canonical form, though East Texas tends sweeter and saucier.
We drove three hours for Texas-style barbecue and waited in line for two more.
