Customer Favorites: Most-Loved Meats and Meals This Season

Spring may be just around the corner, but you’d never know it by the winter we’ve been having. When temperatures are cold and snow threatens, there is nothing like a hearty, filling meal made with your favorite cuts of meat.

At Butcher Boy, we have generations of experience in preparing and purveying the finest in meats and prepared foods to our customers. Whether you want a perfectly prepared steak or one of our house-made specialties, a visit to our North Andover store will be sure to cure your appetite – and your winter blues.

Need some inspiration? Our 60-foot full-service meat counter is sure to have just the right thing. Here are some of our most-requested cuts of meat:

Hand-Cut Steaks: Our expert butchers carefully cut and trim the finest cuts of beef:

• Porterhouse: Make a dinner to remember with our amazing Porterhouse steak that combines tender filet mignon with the succulent richness of a New York sirloin (or New York strip) steak.
• Delmonico: Known for rich marbling and tenderness, a Delmonico is a thick and juicy steak cut.
• Flank Steak: If you’re a fan of fajitas or marinated steak dishes, the leaner flank steak cut is a great choice.

Marinated Meats: You can’t go wrong with pre-marinated beef, chicken, lamb, or pork. Choose from Burgundy, Steak House, Teriyaki, or Sweet Bourbon Beef Tips. For a lighter dish, our Lemon Pepper chicken is a perennial favorite, or try one of our other marinated chicken selections such as Italian, Teriyaki, or Garlic Ginger. Love pork? You can’t beat our Chinese Style or Barbecue ribs, and our Honey Apple Pork Roast is perfect for those cold nights.

Burgers your way: Our 100% beef, in-house crafted burgers are ready to cook and garnish just the way you want them.

Sausage: There’s nothing better than hearty sausage to warm you up. Serve them with onions and peppers and serve on rolls, or toss them with any combination of vegetables and pasta you have on hand. With over eight different varieties from hot to sweet to savory, our sausages make savory and delicious meals.

Need just a little more? After a long day, sometimes the last thing you want to do is figure out “what’s for dinner.” Let us do the work with our prepared meats and meals. Here are just a few customer favorites you might find in the store:

Stuffed Flank Steak: Picture this: a rolled flank steak bursting with spinach, mozzarella, breadcrumbs, garlic, parsley and seasoning. Pop it in the oven and serve an elevated dish that looks like it took you hours to prepare.

Meat Loaf: An American classic, juicy and delicious. Pair it with our mashed potatoes for true comfort.

Chicken Pot Pie: Made fresh in our kitchen, our pot pies are oven-ready, filled with tender chicken and vegetables topped with a classic, flaky pie crust.

And, if you just need a “little something sweet” after a delicious meal, may we suggest something from our bakery or chocolate selections? Konditor Meister Apple Strudel is rich, flaky, and the perfect dessert for two. Or maybe some Raspberry Linzer or Lemon Ricotta cookies from one of our favorite vendors, Fisichelli’s Bakery, who bake in one of the oldest ovens in Lawrence.

Dinner is just a few hours away. What are you waiting for? Come and see us!
