Texas Beef Traders — Local services in Lakeway

If you are scanning through Google maps looking for butcher’s services stop now and head in to Texas Beef Traders. I recently needed some quality beef tallow for a new technique for cold smoking steaks. I popped into the shop and was met by a very knowledgeable and helpful individual, Shea Dow.

The staff here are very knowledgeable about the cuts and what to do with them. When you buy from Texas Beef Traders, you are getting Local Texas Beef and I can attest to the quality of the cuts.

Our menu called for bone marrow appetizers which came precut (long ways so you can serve in the bone rather than medallions) and wrapped. After all nothing kills your appetite like losing a finger or two to a band saw trying to cut your own.

Our next requirement was a collection of steaks according to taste. My wife and mother wanted fillets and my father and I wanted some tomahawks. All the meat here is dry aged and you can taste it in the final product. Rich reds and purples color these cuts and the quality of the source is readily apparent. No overly fatty cuts were present, and you get a great selection of sizes.

If there is something you want that is more exotic just ask at the counter and they will take care of you.

Prices are great, selection is on point, and quality...

We had no clue of all the effort and strategy involved! We grilled the meat (tenderloin tips) last night just using a simple gas grill, and, oh my, it was absolutely delicious. No seasoning used other than a little salt and pepper…not necessary. As good as any beef we’ve ever had at any fine restaurant. Until now we just did not understand the difference between this and HEB/ supermarket bought beef. Well worth the side trip and price. We are hooked...

Last year with the Turkey shortage. I ordered my turkey with TBS. I was not disappointed! It turned out moist and Delicious! I've always gotten my raw organic free range turkey from Wholefoods. Last year, I was having difficulty getting ahold of one so I decided to try this establishment! Not disappointed! I got an email letting me know when thea turkey was ready to be picked up! Very convenient! I've also gotten my ground beef(everything comes sealed in a airtight bag and frozen). FYI with the exception of the turkey. All meats are frozen. I also found out that they can also smoke your turkey if you...
