Meat
Make sure your beloved is hungry, because this box is packed with so much meaty goodness. Think: dry-aged steaks, sirloin filets, pork chops, dry-aged ground beef, pork bacon, and a few extra goodies picked by the butcher just for your friend.
For your meat-lover who is willing to fight over the dark meat during a holiday meal: This mix of thighs and drumsticks from pasture-raised birds can’t be beat. They’re filled with juicy flavor, just waiting for someone to put their signature touch on them.
Know someone who really appreciates a nice salami? This sampler offers four different types from top producers, along with a zesty mustard and cheddar for pairing. It’s the perfect addition to a game-day spread, or something extra fun to break into at a family gathering.
It used to be, you could only enjoy the intense — and ultra delicious — marbling of a Wagyu steak at a five-star restaurant. Now, you can have the goods delivered right to your door (or any door you choose). What a great way for the grill master in your life to really put their skills to the test.
Packed with duck rillettes, smoked chicken breast, truffle butter, and more, this charcuterie box is a fun upgrade to the usual cured meats. Send one to a friend who knows how to put out a good spread. This will only help them make it even better.
Surprise your gluten-free, paleo-following, or keto-obsessed friend with a variety of premium jerky snacks designed to fuel them. Flavors include standards like original and spicy and unexpected seasonings like lemongrass and umami.
These dogs are made with organic, grass fed beef and a handful of other recognizable ingredients that we can get behind. We’re partial to the bison wieners, but the collection includes a variety of other options to throw on the grill.
Encourage someone you love to appreciate the luxuries in life with this sampler pack, which includes pork rillettes, pork liver mousse, and more from the famous Portland-based purveyor.
Tools & Accessories
Braising allows cooks to transform tougher pieces of meat into tender, fall-off-the-bone creations. This classic is an editor favorite , and for good reason. It holds in heat while browning, maintains a steady temperature while simmering, and the domed lid allows a bit of extra room for a roast.
A Dutch oven is one of the most versatile kitchen tools because it can go from stovetop to oven with ease and you can make almost anything in it. Trust us: Any meat-lover would be happy to unwrap one of these enamel-coated, cast iron workhorses when celebrating a special day.
Cast iron skillets provide a great surface for searing meat — and cooking a whole lot of other delicious goodies. This pick is a classic, and it comes pre-seasoned so the lucky recipient can get right to the cooking.
Fact: Even professional chefs use thermometers when cooking! And most of them use a Thermapen. With an astonishing one-second reading, this new model gets the job done quickly so that the oven door can be opened and closed before too much heat gets let out.
The key to good seasoning is to find one that works to enhance your meat, not overwhelm it. This collection offers 10 great options for the meat-lover in your life to experiment with. It's got classics like Carolina Pork Rub, and more nuanced options like Mustard & Tarragon Seasoning.
A great steak calls for a great knife. The ones in this set feel great in any hand and have an upset tip, designed to help separate meat from bone.
This sturdy maple board has an indentation designed to cradle a bird or roast, so it will stay steady while the meat master in your life is carving it. The reverse side is flat, and both feature a generous well to prevent juices from running off.
A good roasting pan can make all the difference when someone is preparing a big meal. Most people appreciate one that is lightweight, conducts heat well, can go from stovetop to oven, and cleans up easily. This workhorse checks all the boxes! Also: It doubles as a really great casserole dish!
Know someone who makes an irresistible burger? Help them take their skills to the next level, by grinding up their own unique blend of meat. This metal grinder fits right onto a KitchenAid stand mixer and comes with three grinding plates and two sausage stuffing tubes.
