Welcome

Welcome to the new Lobel’s Culinary Club.

In the years since we launched our Web site and online butcher shop, the Lobel’s Culinary Club has become the cornerstone of our communications with our customers old and new. Our e-mails span the latest news about products and promotions to help you plan peak dining experiences for family meals, special events, and casual entertaining.

A fundamental part of the Culinary Club content comes from our unique perspective as butchers on meat handling and preparation. And while there are many recipes to share, we want to help you go beyond specific recipes to a wider world of in-depth explorations of cooking techniques. When you understand the fundamentals, you are free to invent your own culinary masterpieces.

We believe the more you know about preparing the finest meat money can buy, the more you will enjoy serving it to your family and friends.

With the launch of our expanded Culinary Club, we’ve created a living archive of knowledge that is gleaned from past e-mails and will grow with future e-mails.

Within the Culinary Club, we hope you’ll find numerous and useful resources to enhance your confidence in preparing the finest and freshest meats available, and ensure your absolute delight with the results.

For your dining pleasure,

lobels Signature

David Lobel loves Lobel’s All-Purpose Savory Seasoning (previously called Lobel’s Dry Rub) so much he’s using it in all of his go-to recipes.

Top 8 Cuts for Cooking Indoors or Out

On October 1,2015 In autumn , beef , lamb , pork , grilling , summer , seasons

It’s that time of year again–the transition between summer and fall. Some days there is perfect grilling weather, while other days are chilly, rainy, or windy. It makes it a little harder to plan meals when you’re not sure if you’ll be able to grill or if you’ll want to stay indoors.

There’s a solution to this conundrum and we call it “transitional cooking.” If you select cuts and recipes that can be cooked indoors or out, your menu will be ever-flexible and you’ll never get thrown off track by the weather.

To that end, we’ve put together a list of the best 8 cuts for transitional cooking. These versatile selections can be easily adapted to an indoor or outdoor menu. Take a look–is your favorite cut on the list?

Culinary Classic: Spaghetti alla Carbonara

On August 31,2015 In culinary classics

How can so many home cooks and restaurants bastardize one of the most fantastic and classic Roman pasta dishes as if it doesn’t matter?

Originally created from pantry staples for a fast, late-night meal, Spaghetti alla Carbonara is so sorely misinterpreted. It is difficult to find the real thing unless you make it yourself.

Love BBQ? This is the easiest & best BBQ you'll ever taste!

On July 30,2015 In beef , pork

Over the years, we’ve participated in a number of food and wine shows and events, and we’ve fed hundreds if not thousands of hungry foodies. The one thing we can serve to a big crowd that we know will be a show-stopper is our barbecued brisket.

In fact, here are some of the things we’ve overheard during tastings:

“My husband and I are from Texas, so we know brisket…  (Skeptically takes a bite.) Honey, come over here, you’ve got to try this!”

“You mean it will taste just like this when I make it at home? Oh, man!”

“Aw, the brisket is all gone? Can I lick the cutting board?”

That’s what we hear when we serve our competition-worthy BBQ that we hand-rubbed with seasonings, then spent hours and hours smoking, basting it with a mopping sauce all the while.

So what if you don’t have that kind of time? But you love BBQ? Welcome to Lobel’s BBQ Pit.

Cut of the Month: St. Louis Ribs

On July 27,2015 In barbecue , cut of the month , pork

The Lobel family of Lobel’s Prime Meats in Manhattan and Lobel’s of New York online butcher shop are fourth- and fifth-generation butchers. With our Cut of the Month series, we will bring you their wealth of knowledge and expertise on specific cuts of meat, including their unique characteristics, preparation methods, and how to select the best cut.

Unlike Memphis, Kansas City, Texas, and the Carolinas, St. Louis, MO, is not often mentioned in the same breath when listing the capitals of American Southern-style barbecue. But it does lend its name to one of the primary types of pork ribs.

Celebrating our 175th Anniversary: Remembering Leon Lobel

On July 26,2015 In 175th anniversary , about lobel's , lobel's prime meats in manhattan

“Dad was the best butcher and teacher I ever had,” remembers Evan Lobel of his father Leon who passed away 10 years ago. Working together in the small 600-square-foot space was like a perfectly orchestrated dance—each would anticipate the other’s moves, and to this day Evan feels extremely lucky and grateful to have had so many memorable moments working so closely with his father.
