Fresh to Market: Beef for Dad

Featured Recipe: Grilled T-Bone Steaks

We think T-bones are the perfect steak for beef aficionados because they offer two cuts in one! On one side of the "T" rests the tenderloin (or filet), and on the other side, the strip loin. Our Fresh to Market T-bones are traditionally cut to about 3/4-inch thick; however, if you prefer them thicker, please ask our meat department associates to cut them to your liking. This week’s video features step-by-step instructions on how to grill dad the perfect T-bone, and you can even save $2 with this week’s coupon offer!

Turn the Thermostat Down!

When the temperatures climb, who wants to slave over a hot stove? Make dinner cool and refreshing instead with our Watermelon Mint Salad.  With sweet melon and tangy balsamic vinegar, this has a balanced flavor that is sure to delight. Pack it up for a picnic with our BBQ Chicken.
 
Price: $4.99/lb.
Save: $2.50/lb.

Picnic Cake

Simple and satisfying, Nugget Picnic Cakes are the perfect dessert for your next picnic or Father’s Day celebration. Our delectable varieties include chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream or German chocolate icing, and vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream or lemon glaze icing.

Carbon-Neutral Cooking

Try grilling over a renewable resource: Green Hearts 100% Natural Charcoal Briquettes are made from Eucalyptus trees that replenish themselves after being harvested. These briquettes also burn hotter and longer than traditional charcoal, to sear in meat’s natural juices with a light wood-grilled flavor.

Get Dad What He Really Wants

Nugget carries gift cards from more than 50 major retailers — we’re sure you can find one that Dad will love!

Health Notes with Dr. Liz

Beef – A Nutritional Bargain!

Searching for a great nutritional value? Take a look at what beef offers.

In just under 200 calories per three-ounce serving, beef packs an unbelievable number of key vitamins and minerals, and it is also surprisingly low in fat.

• Protein perfect: One serving contains 50 percent of the Daily Value for protein. And the mix of amino acids (building blocks of protein) are excellent at helping to build both lean muscles and a strong immune system.
• Vitamin array: One serving supplies 37 percent of your vitamin B12 needs, which is needed for healthy blood cells and nerve fibers. This wonder meat also comes packed with vitamin B6 and riboflavin, two B vitamins crucial for energy and protein metabolism.
• Mucho minerals: With almost 40 percent of the Daily Value for zinc, beef is one of the best sources of this mineral. Zinc helps boost immune health, and beef is a great source of it for children, teens and women — groups that often fall short on their zinc intake
• Easy on fat: Surprisingly, several cuts of beef are lower in fat than skinless chicken thighs. Select cuts such as tri-tip roast, top sirloin and top round steaks for low total fat and saturated fat counts.
