Your Grill’s Perfect Match – Beef Cuts, Tips, And Recipes For Grilling

grills perfect matchWith so many cuts of steak to choose from, the task of deciding the best one to throw on the grill can be overwhelming. Have no fear — there are many correct choices, but we can help you find the perfect match for your grill, depending on your mood and personal taste.

On the occasions when you want to treat yourself and a guest to a really special steak, a porterhouse or T-bone will impress those with an appetite. Both bone-in cuts boast a strip steak on one side of the bone and a filet mignon on the other. While very similar, T-bone steaks are generally smaller because they include a smaller portion of the filet. A porterhouse can be enough to serve two. Try this recipe from Bon Appétit to kick it up a notch.

Among the most tender steaks are the filet mignon, boneless ribeye, and New York strip. Celebrity chef Bobby Flay offers easy-to-follow instructions for what he says is perfectly grilled steak, no matter which of these you choose.

Speaking of ribeye, this well-marbled cut provides particularly rich flavor. It’s used most often when preparing a true Delmonico steak, which got its name from the New York restaurant that became famous for serving the juicy, thick-cut steak nearly two centuries ago. Some things just never go out of style!

Sirloin is a lean steak, meaty and full of flavor. It’s a great option when you’re feeding a group, as you can slice it up alongside grilled veggies on a platter – perfect for cookouts!

All of the steaks we’ve talked about here are great on the grill. Keep our chart handy for reference when you’re planning your next meal in which beef is center stage. Come in to Butcher Boy and let us help you choose the freshest cuts or answer your questions. There’s a reason our most popular online resources are the Steak Grilling Guide for grilling basics on cook time and temperature, and this handy resource for how to tell if your steak is done.

Overheard at the Butcher Counter: Common Questions We Answer

Common Questions at Butcher CounterFor most of us, grocery shopping is a simple routine of making a list and purchasing everything we need to stock the pantry and refrigerator and make meals for the week. The task usually isn’t complete without a stop at the meat counter. Maybe you already know exactly what you want, or maybe you’re inspired to cook something out of the ordinary but you’re feeling a bit intimidated while browsing the options.

Butcher Boy frequently fields all kinds of questions from customers and we love sharing our expertise to help make selecting and preparing our favorite meats a hassle-free experience.

1. I’m trying to stick to my New Year’s resolution. Which protein is the leanest?

No matter the recipe, you don’t have to trade flavor for a healthy lifestyle choice. Replace ground chuck with ground sirloin or switch from Italian pork sausage to Italian chicken sausage. When you’re in the mood for a delicious cut of beef like prime rib, a short cut rump roast is a delicious leaner alternative.

2. I don’t see the cut of meat that my recipe calls for.

We understand how confusing it can be to wonder which meats are best for specific recipes. Sometimes the same cut of meat can be called by several names or the label at the store is different than what’s listed in the recipe. Let our butchers know what you’re preparing. It’s likely we have exactly what you’re looking for, but we can also help you select an acceptable substitute if necessary.

3. I generally stick to the basics like chicken, but I want to branch out and try something a bit different. What would you recommend?

We encourage ambition! Grilled or roasted chicken is delicious. But when it becomes a standard menu item, let us broaden your culinary horizons. How about lamb? This herb -crusted rack of lamb is fairly easy. Impress your family and friends with beef Bourguignon. We have just the right chuck roast for that. If you’re looking for a new way to prepare your favorite sirloin steaks, try steak Diane.

4. My entire family is under the weather, and I’m looking to make a homemade bone broth. Where do I start?

Bone broth can be made with beef bones, pork bones, chicken bones, or a mix of all kinds. You can save them from any bone-in meats you cook – rinse them and store them in the freezer until you’re ready to make the broth – or you can buy the bones directly from us. The best bones for bone broth are those that are high in collagen from cartilage, such as oxtail, short ribs, and marrow bones. Meaty bones, from short ribs, oxtails, or a shin bone with meat provide a lot of flavor. You could also purchase a whole chicken and save the carcass for a delicious broth. The key to the best balance of rich taste and nutrition of bone broth is the slow simmer. Check out this recipe suggestion.

5. I’m having some friends over for dinner. What’s the best choice to feed a crowd?

Hosting a party that involves preparing a full dinner for your guests can be stressful. You want to make sure there’s enough food to satisfy everyone’s appetites and you also want to enjoy yourself without spending too much time in the kitchen cooking or cleaning up. Pulled pork is a great option for feeding a group. We also like beef options such as short ribs or roast tenderloin. Those dishes do not require a lot of attention or time and they’re easy to serve buffet-style. Clean-up is a snap too.

6. I got an instant pot for Christmas. What meat should I use?

The instant pots have grown in popularity. They are a combination of a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker and steamer and the recipes for using them seem to be endless. Pot roast is a fairly easy and fast dinner option with lots of flavor and honey teriyaki chicken could become a family time-saving favorite. Be sure to stop by Butcher Boy for all the herbs, spices, marinades and other ingredients your recipes call for.

If you don’t see what you’re looking for in our butcher case or among the pre-packaged meats, just ask one of our butchers! We have a large variety of specialty items and can customize almost any order to make sure you go home with the perfect cuts for your homemade meals.

Holiday Pantry Necessities

Holiday Pantry NecessitiesSo much about celebrating the holiday season centers on food. Many of our cherished memories evoke images of enjoying favorite meals and desserts with loved ones. While Thanksgiving dinner revolves around the turkey and all the trimmings most of us are familiar with, Christmas has more of a diverse menu customized by family traditions, which may include a Christmas Eve dinner, Christmas Day brunch, and Christmas Day dinner. Leading up to Christmas, of course, are all of the work events, potlucks, social gatherings, cocktail parties, and school activities that involve food.

Placing an order with us for your holiday meal entrée and side dishes can save you time and effort later. Did you know you can also order our delicious desserts, cakes, pies, and pastries ahead of time?

We also know there are many items you want to make yourself. To ensure that you are prepared for whatever holiday event might come your way, even last minute, we’ve created a list of helpful basic ingredients all holiday pantries should be stocked with.

Eggs

Whether it’s for baking Christmas cookies or serving your famous breakfast casserole, you can never have too many eggs on hand during the holidays.

Fresh Cranberries

Cranberries are a very versatile seasonal flavor. Not only can you cook and mash them to create a delicious cranberry sauce, they can be the finishing touch on your cake or the main ingredient in any number of baked sweets. Leftovers can be strung with popcorn as decoration around the house or tossed into sparkling wine or cider for a festive touch.

Nuts

Good for desserts, soups or salads, and side dishes, a variety of nuts can add a welcome crunch. Pour some in a bowl for a snack for guests or yourself while cooking. If anyone has nut allergies, seeds are an easy substitute.

Wine

Whether you’re running out the door to a party and need to bring a host gift, or you’re reducing it for a sauce for the meal you are serving, both red and white wines are nice to have in stock.

Coffee, Tea, etc.

An inventory of k-cups, coffee grounds, tea bags, hot chocolate, and eggnog will allow you to offer your guests their choices of favorite cold weather and holiday beverages.

Broths

Cook rice, meat, and veggies with chicken, beef, or vegetable broth instead of water to give your dishes an extra burst of complimentary flavor.

Oil and Butter

Almost any given recipe calls for oil and butter. You’ll need it for greasing a pan to sear your meats or a cake pan for baking. Even if you don’t use it all, butter will stay good in the fridge or freezer for up to six months.

Spices

Whether it’s allspice, nutmeg, and cloves for homemade mulled wine or pumpkin bread, vanilla and cinnamon for cookies and breads, or garlic salt, rosemary and oregano for perfect roasted potatoes, making sure your spice cabinet is stocked with fresh spices is imperative to a tasty holiday gathering.

Sugar

Granulated, brown, and confectioner’s sugar should be stored in a cool area of the pantry. No matter what kind of dessert you’re preparing, you’ll be glad to have all necessary sugar varieties on hand.

Chocolate

Unsweetened cocoa, baking chocolate and chocolate chips are important ingredients for baking a holiday cake or brownies, making chocolate-covered fruit, or creating a festive ganache, you can never have too much chocolate in your pantry.

 

Use the checklist above to help prevent rushed trips for groceries during the frenzied holiday season. It’s better to make one organized trip to Butcher Boy for all the basics for a well-stocked pantry. You can also do a little holiday shopping by purchasing Butcher Boy gift cards as stocking stuffers, and don’t forget to place your holiday order and holiday dessert order!

 

 

Countdown to Thanksgiving: A Checklist

Thanksgiving DinnerWhether you are hosting a big crowd for your Thanksgiving meal or the holiday will be a more intimate dinner with a small group of family and friends, planning can be stressful. But it doesn’t have to be! Stick to our Thanksgiving checklist that will help you organize the shopping, prepping and cooking so that you’re not rushed or stuck in the kitchen.

Early November

1. Establish the guest list. Extend your Thanksgiving invitation to friends and family. The headcount will help determine your menu, from the size of the turkey to the number of side dishes, which you might select based on ease of preparation for the number of people you expect.

2. Order your turkey as well as any prepared sides or Order a full Thanksgiving meal prepared for you.

Two Weeks Before Thanksgiving

1. Confirm your guest list, and ask if there are food allergies or special dietary needs you should consider.

2. Set the menu. Traditional Thanksgiving fare can be delicious, but if you’re inspired to raise the bar on what to serve with the turkey, check out these suggestions for easy sides to take the holiday meal to the next level.

3. Create shopping list. Butcher Boy’s Thanksgiving Order Guide can lead the way, along with your recipes. Use it to make sure your pantry is stocked ahead of time.

4. Shop for non-perishables. A couple of weeks ahead of Thanksgiving is not too soon to buy the ingredients that won’t spoil.

5. Count your plates, platters, cookware, serving bowls and utensils to ensure you have everything you need. – rent, purchase, or borrow additional if necessary.

6. Count chairs and place settings – rent, purchase, or borrow additional if necessary. Don’t forget the kids table if you need one!

One Week Before Thanksgiving

1. Decorate the house. Make it easy by using what’s available in nature – or in our produce section! You can create centerpieces with gourds of various shapes, sizes and colors.

2. Set up the bar. Check out Butcher Boy’s selection of micro-brews and wine. Set out clean glasses, pitchers and ice buckets.

3. Clear out your fridge and freezer. You’ll need to make room for your shopping bounty as well as the leftovers that come later. Purchase a supply of to-go containers, wrap and bags so that you can send your guests home with food and store the rest.

4. Pick up your turkey and shop for the rest of the items on your shopping list.

Two Days Before Thanksgiving

1. There is a lot you can do to prep the meal ahead of time and save yourself a full day in the kitchen on Thanksgiving Day.

a. Prep the stuffing (but don’t bake it) This may involve cubing the bread and setting it out to stale a step one or if you don’t want to go through the trouble, you can order our traditional bread stuffing with Bell’s seasoning or our bread stuffing with dried apples and dried cranberries.

b. Prep the glaze for the turkey and make the gravy base (we found a great recipe for bourbon gravy for a twist on the traditional) To save time, you can also order our homemade turkey gravy.

c. Prep the cranberry sauce and any additional sides.

d. Just refrigerate and everything will be ready to go when it’s time to pull your whole meal together on Thursday.

2. Chill wine and beer.

Thanksgiving Day

1. Happy Thanksgiving! Consult our turkey roasting guide for notes on preparation and cooking times for your bird. Set your cooking schedule for the rest of the meal accordingly.

Traveling or out of time? Let us help! Order freshly prepared dishes that can be heated and served as a delicious complement to any holiday table or you can order your entire Thanksgiving dinner complete with sides and dessert. All the details are available in our order guide.

Falling in Love with Squash

Stuffed Acorn SquashIt’s that time of year when fall and winter squash abounds, and the possibilities are endless. Not only is it a tasty option for cooking and eating, but squash is great for inspiring seasonal creativity.

Visit the produce section of our store for the best fresh varieties. Select squash that is firm and store it in at home in a dry, cool place – but not the refrigerator – and be sure to use it within a month or so.

Squash pairs very well with a roast or grilled steak. Whether you grill it, mash it, or roast it, the slightly sweet flavor of squash makes for a delicious side dish or complement to the main attraction. Try this recipe for roasted acorn squash with honey ginger pork and it could make a regular appearance on your fall or winter dinner menus.

Squash can also play more of a starring role in something like stuffed acorn squash. Let us help you with flavor combinations. Ask our meat clerk to choose the sausage or chicken that will work best for various recipes.

Preparing spaghetti squash is also an easy way to add more vegetables and decrease carbs at the dinner table. Grill some steak to go with your spaghetti squash and you have a delicious dinner for the entire family.

Having trouble convincing your kids to eat squash? There are a few ways to incorporate squash into the menu that will have them coming back for seconds. Well- seasoned butternut squash fries are sure to please younger palates and they are a healthier alternative to the traditional potato counterpart.

Squash can even offer a nutritious dessert. The hubbard squash, rich in vitamin A and iron, is popular for mashing or pureeing. We found a sweet hubbard squash custard pie recipe that promises to rival the tastiest pumpkin pie.

For additional ideas, revisit the recipes we’ve shared before for fall-themed squash and pumpkin dinners.

You can even decorate your house for the season with these versatile gourds. Try painting some pumpkins white or gold for a stylish way to celebrate the season. Wrap and glue some twine to the top of your acorn squash to make it look like acorns. With a little felt and creativity, turning a butternut squash into a moose for your decorations will be quite the conversation piece that’s easy for the kids to help create. Or simply cut the tops off small gourds and mini pumpkins, place some tea lights in them or flowers, and you have a beautiful centerpiece.

Make No Mis-Steak With Your Grill

Grilling a SteakWe like to share recipes with our customers. It’s fun to try new combinations of flavors or prepare our specialty meats in different ways. But when it comes to grilling steak, a recipe is only a winner if the steak is cooked just the way you — or your guests — like it. If you’re unsure about the general rules for cooking times of various cuts of steak, we’ve put together this helpful Steak Grilling Guide.

Keep in mind that cooking times are based on:

  • the cut of meat
  • the thickness of the meat
  • desired doneness

That’s why you can’t grill different types of steak for the same amount of time and expect the same taste and texture. The guide chart is customized to give you the best results for each cut of steak.

Universal tips for grilling the perfect steak:

  • Don’t take the steak out of the fridge and throw it directly on the grill. To make sure the meat cooks evenly, let it come to room temperature first.
  • Oil the grill grates. When it’s time to flip the steak, it will turn easily and not stick.
  • Be patient and let the steak cook on one side for the full recommended time before turning it. Flipping a steak too often will disrupt the grilling time and dry it out.
  • Searing a steak creates tremendous flavor. After you get a good crust on steak thicker than an inch, grill it over indirect heat so that it won’t burn before it finishes cooking on the inside.
  • Don’t be afraid to use a digital thermometer to keep a more accurate eye on your steak.
  • Always let your steak rest for about five minutes after you take it off the grill and don’t cut into it before.

Grill Marks on SteakAbout those grill marks…

Have you figured out the technique for creating those criss-crossed grill marks on steaks? Place the steak at a 45-degree angle on the grill. Flip it at the same angle. Turn the steak over a second time, rotating it 90 degrees. One last flip for a quick sear at the same angle will give you that familiar diamond pattern.

For more information about cooking all types of beef, check out our Beef Roasting Guide. You can also revisit similar guides for roasting pork, ham and turkey. Follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest!

Make July 4th a Real Blast

4th of July Fireworks

The most American of holidays is upon us. You could celebrate our nation’s independence with a basic cookout or picnic of burgers and hot dogs…but why not kick it up a notch or two with some of these recipe suggestions that will impress everyone on your guest list?

Spicy Grilled Chicken with Lemon and Parsley

Skin on and bone-in, this grilled chicken is a true summertime favorite. Brown the chicken on direct heat first before cooking thoroughly on indirect heat without burning it. If you don’t have smoked Spanish paprika, no problem! Create the desired smoky flavor yourself by adding a dash of cumin or one of these other alternatives to regular paprika. View recipe here.

Bourbon-Glazed Baby Back Ribs

4th of July Cookout

Low and slow is the key to fall-off-the-bone ribs. This easy recipe starts off with the ribs in the oven, then browning them on the grill and basting with glaze. The chili paste adds heat to the sweet bourbon, but there are a few good spicy substitutes to consider if you don’t have it on hand. View recipe here.

Smoked Chicken Wings

When you want to add some finger food to the grill menu, this is one to go for. Switch up the barbeque sauce for a homemade marinade. Or, check out Butcher’s Boy’s selection of marinated chicken that you can just toss onto the grill. Satisfy multiple preferences by cooking up a variety of flavors! View recipe here.

Porterhouse Steak with Summer Vegetables

Season this cut of beef liberally and make sure you bring the steak up to room temperature before putting it on the grill. A porterhouse is thick, and that will ensure even cooking. When it’s just the way you like it, carve the steaks off the bone, then slice the strip and the tenderloin into 1/4-inch slices for the crowd to share. View recipe here.

Grilled Filet Mignon with Brandy Mustard Sauce

This recipe will give your 4th of July party a more upscale taste. The sauce ingredients are easy enough to throw together in a skillet. You can finish it off while the steaks are resting off the grill. View recipe here.
