Smashburgers

Not that ButcherBox Ground Beef needs it, but a good crust creates deep flavor. That’s the truth here when it comes to smashburgers. The act of pressing down and creating more surface contact with your ground beef means more browning, more concentration of flavor and a crunch—just delicious. This recipe […]

Pork Chops in Peppery Gravy

ButcherBox’s Pork Chops get seared until golden brown and then braised on the stovetop in a savory gravy that acts as a sauce, but also the cooking medium—efficient and genius, really. It’s a method called smothering and rooted in the American South’s cajun and creole cuisines. This technique works very […]

Braised Chicken Thighs with Crushed Tomatoes

Succulent and juicy salt and pepper chicken thighs browned in butter, a tangy tomato sauce and seared mushrooms—this dish is simple but super comforting. All you really need is maybe a few thick slices of garlic bread or some creamy polenta to take this up a notch. If you like […]

Pan-Roasted Pork Steaks with White Bean and Radish Salad

Richly marbled ButcherBox Pork Butt, usually destined for low and slow cooking, is sliced and seared on high for a steak-like meal that’s similar to cooking a pork chop, but more forgiving if you overcook it. The salad of peppery crunch from radishes and creamy white beans, tossed in a […]

Instant Pot® Corned Beef and Cabbage

New gadgets can make “seasoned” dishes feel new again and that’s the case here (thanks Instant Pot®!) with this non-traditional yet speedy and easy way to make corned beef and cabbage. Salt-cured and braised brisket, cabbage and potatoes are what we most likely think of today, which certainly has roots […]

Roasted Salmon with Potatoes and Brussels Sprouts

Our Sockeye Salmon, a luxury in itself, is blanketed in a gentle yet rich and buttery sauce and served with thinly sliced and roasted potatoes and Brussels sprouts. As this is technically a sheet-pan recipe, most of the cooking happens in the oven, where the potatoes and sprouts are first […]

Turkey and Mozzarella Stuffed Peppers

Super satisfying yet light, these stuffed peppers are garlicky, herbaceous (thanks to a generous amount of sage), bright with tomato and cheesy from melted layers of mozzarella. How could turkey not like being paired with such tasty flavors? Lastly, because it’s never bad to have some greens too, escarole (a […]

Shrimp Scampi with Polenta

The iconic Italian corn porridge polenta meets the Italian-American hero that is shrimp scampi in this recipe. Think creamy-rich polenta with the spice, garlic and lemon punch of shrimp scampi. ButcherBox’s Shrimp, which are already shelled, deveined and cleaned, make for an easy dinner. And with just a few pantry […]

Chicken Pot Pie with Greens and Root Vegetables

Comforting and nourishing, this pot pie is as much about chicken and buttery pastry as it is about vegetables. ButcherBox Chicken and root veggies of your choice get folded into a bechamel sauce with briny capers, spinach and a generous amount of garlic. The filling is simple but tasty. Store-bought […]

Pan-Roasted Ribeye with Buttery Mushrooms

Our ribeye is the perfect date night meal, like for Valentine’s Day or just that day of the week you decide to make something extra special. This mushroom sauce is reminiscent of steak au poivre but a lot less creamy, peppery and made with ribeye versus filet mignon—it’s more tangy-bright […]

Air Fryer Nashville-Style Hot Chicken Wings

When we say Nashville style here, we mean the super tasty, super spicy, preparation of fried chicken that’s become synonymous with the city’s culinary identity and by natural extension, southern cuisine. First created by the Prince Family (and continues to be served) at their “Chicken Shack,” the dish has gained […]

Philly Cheesesteak-Style Sandwiches

It’s not every city that has a really delicious sandwich named after itself, but Philadelphia, Pennsylvania does. It’s also not the case that in every city you can get a reliably good version (if you can at all) of the sandwich of thinly sliced griddled beef, onions and melty cheese […]
