Valentine’s Day Gifts For Him: It’s All About Meat

Valentine’s Gifts for the Meat Lover

Valentine’s Day Gifts for your husband or boyfriend can be tough to figure out.  Dads and sons can be even worse.  But it doesn’t have to be that way! If you want to get something besides candy and stuffed animals for the man in your life, there are plenty of other, more guy-friendly options to look out for. There are some gifts- unique or otherwise- that may be perfect for the man in your life.

 

Outdoor Smoker Set: Gas grillers may not have to go through the fuss of setting up the charcoal– but many barbecue lovers miss that signature smoky taste.

Franklin Barbecue: A Meat-Smoking Manifesto: A complete meat- and brisket-cooking education from the country’s most celebrated pitmaster and owner of the wildly popular Austin restaurant Franklin Barbecue–winner of Texas Monthly’s coveted Best Barbecue Joint in Texas award.

Broken Arrow Meat: Of course there is nothing better a meat eater like than meat.  And while you could certainly go with Omaha Steaks, Broken Arrow Meat is a much more creative option. Broken Arrow Ranch is an artisanal purveyor of high quality, free-range venison, antelope, and wild boar meat from truly wild animals.  And if you can’t decide, they have gift certificates!

Salt Lick BBQ Sauce and Pork Rub: People have a million opinions about the best rub but this one was on almost every “you need to try it” list.  It has 4 or 5 star ratings all over the place.

Best Dry Rub around. I’ve been smoking meat/fish/poultry for about 3 years. I’ve tried all the rubs and marinades. This is the best dry rub around. On a Boston Butt it is simply the best tasting by far. I used the Garlic version on chicken. I promise once you try it you won’t go back to any other rubs… Use liberally…. Also great on Salmon….

Steak Knives: Any decent carnivore needs a good set of steak knives. From Pampered Chef to Walmart steak knives are everywhere and they vary greatly.  I got my BIL a set for Christmas that were a bit over $100- that to me was the price that separated the man’s knife from the boys knife.

The Meat Hook Meat Book: Buy, Butcher, and Cook Your Way to Better Meat: This first cookbook from meat maven Tom Mylan, co-owner of The Meat Hook, in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, is filled with more than 60 recipes and hundreds of photographs and clever illustrations to make the average cook a butchering enthusiast. With stories that capture the Meat Hook experience, even those who haven’t shopped there will become fans.
