Popular Christmas Recipes
Rib Roast
Rib roasts are a traditional and delicious Holiday dinner. These magnificent roasts are also known as “Prime Rib” for their rich flavor and tenderness.
Christmas Rib Roast Recipe
Rib Roasts, or Prime Ribs, are richly flavored cuts of beef that are tender, delicious, and easy to roast. We cut the bones off each roast, then carefully tie them back on for easy roasting. This is what makes a “standing rib roast” – because you can stand it in your roaster. Boneless options are also available, if desired.
WHAT SIZES ARE AVAILABLE?
Order a Rib Roast by how many ribs you would like. They are available in 3 – 7 rib sizes. Here’s a rough breakdown of sizes:
- 3 Rib (about 6-8 lbs.)
- 4 Rib (about 8-10 lbs.)
- 5 Rib (about 10-12 lbs.)
- 6 Rib (about 12-14 lbs.)
- 7 Rib (full roast – about 14-16 lbs.)
HOW MUCH TO ORDER PER PERSON?
We recommend ordering 1# of meat per adult being served.
HOW DO I COOK THIS MEAT?
Rib Roasts should be roasted! Season with LGCM Ultimate Steak and Roast Rub, place in a roasting rack, sear for 15 minutes at 500ºF, then continue roasting at 350ºF until the roast reaches 135ºF, about 15 minutes per pound. Want to make a rib roast for Christmas? Try our full rib roast recipe!
WHAT’S A GREAT WINE PAIRING?
A big roast deserves a big wine. Try pairing this roast with a Cabernet Sauvignon, or Merlot!
New York Strip Roast
New York Strip Roasts are an increasingly popular option. They’re a certified lean meat choice, but they still have lots of flavor and tenderness!
Christmas New York Strip Roast Recipe
We love New York Strip Roasts. These boneless roasts can be cut to the perfect size for your party – unlike a bone-in roast – and they combine lean beef nutrition with rich flavor and tenderness. Give one a try at your next Holiday party or gathering!
WHAT SIZES ARE AVAILABLE?
We can cut any size New York Strip Roast you would like from 2.5# – 8#.
HOW MUCH TO ORDER PER PERSON?
We recommend ordering 1/2# of meat per adult being served.
HOW DO I COOK THIS MEAT?
These are easy to cook. Rub them with olive oil, season with LGCM Ultimate Steak & Roast Rub, then roast at 450ºF for 15 minutes, before reducing the heat and cooking 15 minutes per pound at 350ºF until the roast reaches 135ºF. To make your gathering a bit more special, try dressing this roast up with a Mushroom Red Wine Butter. Want to make New York Strip Roast for Christmas? Try our New York strip roast recipe!
WHAT’S A GREAT WINE PAIRING?
This is a roast full of flavor and it deserves a fully flavored wine. Try pairing this roast with a Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, or Malbec!
Beef Tenderloin
Roasting a whole Beef Tenderloin makes any occasion special. These are the most tender cut of beef, and have a buttery and delicious flavor.
Christmas Beef Tenderloin Recipe
When you roast a whole Beef Tenderloin, you’re making the most tender, highly sought after cut of beef. It transforms any occasion into something special. Enjoy a Leahy’s Angus Beef Tenderloin this Holiday and you’ll be making treasured (and delicious) memories!
WHAT SIZES ARE AVAILABLE?
Whole tenderloins range between 3.5# – 4#.
HOW MUCH TO ORDER PER PERSON?
We recommend ordering 1/2-3/4# of meat per person. You will get about 12 – 1″ slices from a whole tenderloin, or 8 – 1.5″ slices. For more flexibility, or for smaller groups, consider ordering individual tenderloin filets.
HOW DO I COOK THIS MEAT?
It’s very important not to over cook a tenderloin – there isn’t much fat to insulate the meat! Rub the meat all over with LGCM Ultimate Steak and Roast Rub, then place the roast on a baking sheet. Put it in an oven preheated to 500ºF, and roast for 15 minutes. Turn heat down to 325ºF, and roast for an additional 10 minutes per pound until the meat reaches 135ºF. Keep an eye on a meat thermometer, as some will cook faster! Want to make beef tenderloin for your Christmas meal? Try our delicious beef tenderloin recipe!
WHAT’S A GREAT WINE PAIRING?
Tenderloin has a buttery, delicate flavor, so we recommend a lighter red wine, like Pinot Noir as a great pairing!
Tenderloin Filet
Tenderloin Filet, or Filet Mignon, is a delectable morsel of beef that is easy to prepare at home. Simply sear, pop the filets in the oven, and enjoy!
Christmas Tenderloin (Filet Mignon) Recipe
Tenderloin Filets are a favorite for the holidays. Few people won’t enjoy the tender, buttery flavor of a Tenderloin Filet, and they’re easy to sear, then roast. For the true foodies, sous vide cooking is a great way to prepare a filet, but searing in butter works perfectly well for the rest of us!
WHAT SIZES ARE AVAILABLE?
Tenderloin filets can be ordered in inches or by ounces. A wide variety of weight and length options exist, so give us a call to get the right size for you!
HOW MUCH TO ORDER PER PERSON?
We recommend ordering 8-10 oz. Tenderloin Filets, depending on appetites. 1.5″ filets are a good size for smaller appetites, while 2″ filets are a good pick for larger appetites.
HOW DO I COOK THIS MEAT?
Sear the filets in melted butter for 3-4 minutes per side, then put them in a 350ºF oven for 10-15 minutes. Roast until they reach 135ºF. If you’d like to up your culinary game, you can add garlic and herbs to the butter as you pan sear the filets, and baste the liquid over the filets for even more flavor, if desired. Try our favorite tenderloin (filet mignon) recipe!
WHAT’S A GREAT WINE PAIRING?
The buttery, smooth flavor of this meat goes well with a lighter red wine like Pinot Noir. Find something with a bit of oak aging for a more rich flavor!

Yes, we do ship!
Are you looking to send the gift of Wisconsin goodies to loved ones? Why not send your favorite LGCM products!
Here are a few guidelines to keep in mind about shipping:
- We send all of our perishable products in insulated containers with ice packs. Various sizes are available.
- We generally freeze most products before shipping them to protect them during the trip.
- If you are within our 1-day ground shipping radius with UPS, we can send your products via ground shipping!
- Otherwise, we prefer to send your products via air shipping. If you are sending fresh meats and sausages, we strongly recommend 1 day shipping, if you are shipping cooked products and / or cheese, 2 day shipping is often okay.

You’re also welcome to purchase an insulated container from us and ship it on your own account. A real “pro-tip” is to check the cooler if you’re flying somewhere. It’s usually much less expensive than shipping!
