From TexAgs Sponsor: De Baca Steakhouse

This summer, De Baca Steakhouse is elevating the steakhouse experience with a bold new menu centered around refined flavors, globally inspired techniques, and one of the most unique selections of game meats in the region.


Buffalo Rib Eye

Our menu is centered on high-quality beef, with most steaks hand-picked from Rosenthal Meat Center here in town and processed exclusively for De Baca Steakhouse to guarantee excellent quality, marbling, and consistency. While our signature steaks and classic favorites continue to define the De Baca experience, Summer 2026 introduces an adventurous culinary direction that celebrates exotic proteins and elevated seasonal ingredients designed for guests seeking something truly unforgettable.


Kangaroo Filet

The highlight of the new menu is our expanded game selection, featuring rare and carefully sourced proteins that showcase both craftsmanship and creativity. Guests can try the new Seared Kangaroo Steak; a lean cut marinated in balsamic vinaigrette and served with peppercorn sauce.


Pheasant

Joining it is the Tamarind Soy Roasted Duck Breast, prepared to the guest's desired temperature and paired with sweet potato pure and orange demi-glace for a balance of savory richness and citrus brightness. Returning favorites like the Seared Ostrich Filet and Pheasant Confit continue to reinforce De Baca's commitment to offering a dining experience far beyond the traditional steakhouse.


Ostrich Filet


Beyond the game program, the menu introduces several new seasonal creations including:
  • Sugar-Cured Texas Quail with hearts of palm and balsamic glaze
  • Seared Scallop and Calabrian Risotto
  • Korean-inspired Gochujang Beef Tips served over Asian quinoa
New appetizers like these add vibrant summer flavor while maintaining the elevated presentation De Baca is known for.
  • Crab Cake Fried Egg Rolls
  • Grilled Shrimp Piña Skewers

Quail

Mark your calendar - our Summer 2026 menu makes its debut on Memorial Day, May 25, inviting you to experience a season shaped by our passion for culinary innovation while remaining grounded in the traditions of luxury dining and premium ingredients.

And let us know - what's the most adventurous item you have ever ordered!

Whether you're a devoted steakhouse enthusiast drawn to expertly sourced cuts or an adventurous diner eager to explore refined interpretations of exotic game meats, every dish is thoughtfully crafted to surprise, elevate, and engage your palate, delivering a distinctive, one-of-a-kind culinary experience that can only be found at De Baca Steakhouse.

I've been to several places where the most adventurous items to order were the seafood options. But those are not the adventures that you are looking for.

Camel in Oman. It tasted like what I would expect dog meat to taste like.

Haggis, Giraffe, and the 100 year old egg in China. Oh, and whatever was in that bowl of soup on that train in China in 1985 will forever be a mystery. So glad I never found out what that was.

I had chopped live octopus (still squiggling) in the Itaewan Market in Seoul, Korea - but I don't recommend it, ha!
