For some time, we’ve been trying to figure out ways to get home cooks the cuts of meat that fit best with their unique tastes and, most importantly, allows them to experience the joy of cooking in their own kitchens.
And so, we created a collection of specially curated holiday boxes that let people make their favorite and most comforting meals at home, having the essential cuts of the season delivered right to their doors.
When we got all of the best minds at ButcherBox together, we came up with these special collections geared for certain types of cooks.
Steak Lovers
Who is it for?
Someone who has created a bucket list to make a pilgrimage to the most iconic steakhouses in America. However, these steak fans aren’t content with being served a perfectly seared porterhouse. These steak lovers have likely tried to sneak into the kitchens of their favorite steak joint for steak rub reconnaissance and know the exact time, to the second, it takes to get a ribeye to a perfect medium-rare.
In the box:
Take your pick, there are so many different boxes to choose from, you can’t go wrong.

The Home Chef’s Box – The Variety Box
Who is it for?
This home chef has homemade spice rubs and an indoor herb garden within reach of the oven. Apron? Which one—the one for indoors, the one for grilling, or the pastry one? This box is for the discerning home chef who likes to have options and whose prized passion is a cast-iron pan that’s never touched water.
In the box:
100% grass-fed, grass-finished ground beef, top sirloin steaks, boneless pork chops, chicken wings, St. Louis ribs, chicken breasts, and ButcherBox burgers.

The Hosting for the Holidays Box – Holiday Roast Box
Who is it for?
Usually, the host-with-the-most has appetizers made a week in advance and a different holiday theme every year. This year, it’s been a little slow.
That is until the holiday host realizes that there will still be 10 family members for the holiday centerpiece dinner. Holiday roast time!
In the box:
The perfect cut for the holiday: A holiday ribeye roast. The English language hasn’t found the right adjective to properly describe this 100% grass-fed, grass-finished cut of beef that can easily be roasted to juicy, tender perfection. Clean plates all around!
