Our Steaks
A Great Steak Tells a Story
At King William Wine Co., we believe a truly memorable steak begins long before it reaches the table. It starts with exceptional cattle, trusted ranchers, skilled butchers, thoughtful preparation, and a deep respect for the ingredients.
Every steak we serve reflects our philosophy that remarkable dining is never about excess—it's about craftsmanship, balance, and creating moments worth remembering.
Why We Chose This Beef
At King William Wine Co., we believe an exceptional steak begins long before it reaches the kitchen. While technique and preparation matter, the true foundation of a memorable steak is the quality of the beef itself.
After years of seeking out remarkable steaks around the world, I came to appreciate a simple truth: no amount of technique can improve mediocre beef. It begins with exceptional cattle, thoughtful ranching, and producers who refuse to compromise on quality. That's why we chose Dean & Peeler Meats, one of Texas' most respected producers. Their hand-selected USDA Prime beef is known for exceptional marbling, consistency, and responsible ranching, reflecting the same commitment to craftsmanship that guides every dish we serve. A carefully controlled 14-day dry-aging process gently enhances tenderness and concentrates the beef's natural richness, allowing its character to shine.
Chef Jill's philosophy is equally simple: extraordinary ingredients deserve respect. Using refined European technique and thoughtful restraint, she prepares each steak to celebrate the quality of the beef, allowing its natural flavor and character to remain the true star of the plate.
For us, a great steak is never simply about what's on the plate. It's about sharing an exceptional bottle of wine, lingering over conversation, and creating lasting memories with family and friends around the table. That's the experience we hope you'll discover every time you dine with us at King William Wine Co.

A Personal Journey
For as long as I can remember, I've been drawn to restaurants where a truly exceptional steak was more than a signature dish—it was an expression of craftsmanship, respect for the ingredient, and the character of the place itself.
Throughout my travels, I've made a point of seeking out those experiences, from neighborhood bistros and historic taverns to celebrated dining rooms across Europe, South America, and beyond. Each meal reinforced the same lesson: extraordinary steaks don't begin in the kitchen. They begin with exceptional cattle, thoughtful ranching, and producers whose commitment to quality is evident long before the beef reaches the chef.
Those experiences shaped my appreciation for remarkable beef and ultimately guided our search for the finest Texas steaks worthy of serving at King William Wine Co.
When Jill and I envisioned this restaurant, we made a simple promise to ourselves: nothing would appear on our menu unless we genuinely believed it belonged there. Every dish would reflect our shared commitment to exceptional ingredients, thoughtful preparation, and genuine hospitality. Our steaks are no exception. They earned their place—not because a fine dining restaurant is expected to serve steak, but because we found beef worthy of Chef Jill's kitchen and a philosophy that reflects everything we believe about great dining.
