On the 1st Day of Christmas, my butcher shared with me: 1 Prime Rib

Serve it with our delicious Butcher Boy au jus for a tender, juicy meat. Don’t let the cooking time intimidate you. The flavor is worth the effort.

On the 2nd Day of Christmas, my butcher shared with me: 2 Beef Tenderloins

This is the larger cut of beef before it’s sliced into individual steaks best known as filet mignon. Cook it whole, using our roasting guide to help you determine the temperature that suits your taste, then cut it into thick slices for your guests. Pair this tasty roast with some of our homemade béarnaise sauce.

On the 3rd Day of Christmas, my butcher shared with me: 3 Honey Apple Pork Loins

Slightly sweet and perfectly juicy, a pork tenderloin is easy to prepare but will impress. Adding fresh, local apples to the roasting pan will give it a seasonal flavor.

On the 4th Day of Christmas, my butcher shared with me: 4 Spiral Hams

Spiral hams are a crowd pleaser. Make it the centerpiece of your party buffet. A ham looks beautiful on the platter with its perfectly even slices, and is easy for guests to serve themselves. It tastes delicious warmed up, but it’s also great at room temperature.
