Christmas dinner built around beef is the most reliable way to produce a meal that people remember. The question is which cut. Here is a complete guide to the seven products in our Christmas Favorites collection and what each one is built for.
The Centerpiece Roasts
Boneless Rib Roast (4 lbs, $114.99) is the most impactful beef option for a Christmas table. This is a prime rib preparation — the same cut as standing rib roast, without the standing rib bones. Four pounds serves six to eight people as a main course. It is reverse-roasted, finished at high heat for crust, rested and carved at the table. No other beef creates the same visual and sensory moment as a properly cooked rib roast arriving at a dinner table.
Whole Beef Tenderloin Roast (3 lbs, $149.99) is the more refined option. The tenderloin is the most tender muscle on the animal and carries a clean, delicate flavor that contrasts with the richness of a rib roast. It is a better choice for a table that prefers precision and elegance over boldness and richness. A whole tenderloin roast served on a board, sliced into medallions, is a legitimate show-stopper at the right occasion.
Holiday Steaks
If a whole roast is more than the table calls for, individual steaks solve the problem. Bone-in Ribeye ($29.99) and Boneless Ribeye ($29.99) can be cooked individually and plated — more labor at the stove, less drama at the table, but the same quality beef. Filet Mignon ($24.99) is the individual-plate option for guests who prefer lean, refined beef over the richness of ribeye.
Gift Boxes
The Foreman ($1,199) and The Cattle Baron ($2,799) are our two largest pre-built boxes. These are not novelty gifts — they are practical, high-volume beef orders that a recipient will use for months. For a person or family that buys quality beef regularly, either of these is one of the most useful gifts they can receive. No shelf life, no clutter, no guessing — just beef they would have bought themselves.
Order Timing
Holiday deliveries require lead time. Order the rib roast and tenderloin roast with at least 5 business days before your planned meal date to account for shipping transit. Both ship frozen and can be kept in the freezer until 48 hours before cooking, then transferred to the refrigerator to thaw.
