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

Celebrating our 175th Anniversary: A Legacy of Leadership

On November 8,2015 In 175th anniversary , about lobel's , lobel's prime meats in manhattan

As the Lobels celebrate 175 years as butchers, it’s impressive to consider the myriad contributions they have made to the meat business in just the last 30 years. The Lobels are leaders and innovators in the world of meat, with an iconic New York butcher shop, a thriving online business, and a wealth of books, patents, and leadership positions in the industry.

Cookbooks

The Lobels’ cookbooks encourage readers to be both knowledgeable and resourceful when it comes to meat preparation—with trademark emphasis on top quality—and provide a signature start-to-finish approach.

MEAT_bg

Meat (1971), the first and most traditional cookbook, is full of nostalgic recipes featuring meat as a main course. Meat guides the chef from the shopping through the cooking of the meat and sauce, with a slew of diagrams, suggestions, and tips along the way. Old favorite recipes include “Roast Rack of Lamb with Marmalade,” “Chicken Livers with Wine,” and “Family Pot Roast,” among many.

 Book - Prime Time Grilling   

  Book - Prime Time

Lobel’s Prime Time Grilling: Recipes and Tips from America’s #1 Butchers (2007)—an updated version of the 1999 edition—highlights the practicality of grilling in the modern era. The book is categorized by type of meat, and dedicates an entire section to burgers. Lobel’s Prime Time Grilling sticks to conventional cuts, aimed at teaching the average American griller how to spice things up a bit. Recipes influenced from around the globe range from “South India-Style Lamb Kabobs” to “Mediterranean Grilled Chicken Salad” to “Sweet ‘n Spicy Dry Rub.” Be sure to check out the “Cuts of Meat for Grilling” section in the back, with detailed diagrams and descriptive tables for quick and easy reference.

Book - Prime Cuts

With Lobel’s Prime Cuts: The Best Meat and Poultry Recipes from America’s Master Butchers (2004), the Lobels offer contemporary recipes for fully formed meals, with meat and poultry sharing the spotlight with sides and slaws. Ideal for a small Thanksgiving gathering is the “Maple-Glazed Turkey Breast with Corn Bread Stuffing.” From Asian-inspired cuisine, with recipes like “Ginger and Green Onion Burgers Topped with Thai-Style Slaw,” to the fresh take on a classic, “Grilled Citrus Rib Pork Chops with Grilled Asparagus and Herbed Rice Pilaf,” the book guarantees something for everyone. Lobel’s Prime Cuts opens with “Practical Considerations,” covering knives, cooking temperatures, and freezing, giving the reader a comprehensive lesson and ensuring smooth preparation.

Book - Meat and Wine

“Wine Notes” accompany recipes in Lobel’s Meat and Wine: Great Recipes for Cooking and Pairing (2006). European-style dishes include, “Rioja-Style Grilled Lamb Chops,” “Chicken Gratin with Onion Sauce and Gruyère,” and “Oven-Braised Beef Short Ribs with Black Pepper and Chianti.” The first chapter, “How to Choose Food-Friendly Wines,” lays the groundwork, walking the reader through easy to understand guidelines and six components of wine relevant to food friendliness: acidity, alcohol content, sweetness, tannin, fruitiness, and oak. Lobel’s Meat and Wine is a useful guidebook for the beginner through to the wine expert.

Book - Meat Bible

Lobel’s Meat Bible: All You Need to Know about Meat and Poultry from America’s Master Butchers (2009) features 135 recipes and thorough, informative overviews of different cuts at the start of each meat chapter. There are chapters dedicated to Beef, Veal, Pork, Lamb, Poultry & Rabbit, Game Birds and Game, Variety Meats, and lastly, Sauces, Chutneys, Condiments & Stocks. Crowd-pleasers include “Lamb Tagine with Two Squashes, Apricots and Almonds,” “Veal Scaloppine with Prosciutto and Sage” and “Chicken and Sausage Jambalaya.” This meat textbook with mouthwatering photography would be a welcome addition to any meat eater’s shelf.

Culinary Contributions & Innovations

In addition to sharing their expertise in cookbooks, the Lobels are involved in organizations in the meat community.

Lobel’s Prime Meats is a member of the Product Council for the National Cattleman’s Beef Association (NCBA),  and family patriarch Stanley Lobel is on the Board of Trustees of the NCBA Foundation. He is also a Fellow at the Culinary Institute of America.

As a member of the NCBA Product Council, beef safety research is an area of focus for Stanley’s youngest son, Mark Lobel. Mark has also served on the Board of Advisors of the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine for more than 15 years, attending meetings and offering advice and counsel.

Furthermore, Stanley Lobel’s patents are a testament to the family’s respect for beef and passion for butchering. The Lobels “Wrangler” steak cut comes from the beef chuck roll—a cut which Stanley Lobel first patented.

Stanley was granted “Butchering Processes for Meat Products,” the patent for the chuck roll, a cut which weighs between 13 and 21 pounds and comes from the upper portion of the chuck, a frontquarter cut from the shoulder, upper ribs, and a portion of the neck and backbone. Stanley saw the opportunity to produce steaks from the chuck, which had been previously considered primarily for roasts or ground beef chuck.

In addition to the chuck roll patent, Stanley holds the patent for a mass-production butchering method for the beef shoulder, or clod, which comes from the beef chuck. The patent entitled “Butchering Processes for the Beef Clod,” introduced a new direction to advantageously cut the chuck to produce beef shoulder. In his patents for the chuck roll and the beef shoulder, innovative Stanley presents numerous suggestions for the excess meat, from sandwich steaks and “shabu-shabu” to pot roasts and London broil.

Stanley Lobel, Leon Lobel, and Herbert Schachter also invented and patented a gravy separator, the “Liquid Separating Vessel.”

Truly masters of their trade, the Lobels have inspired new perspectives on meat and butchering, always leading by example. After 175 years, Lobel’s remains a favorite, respected institution of meat eaters near and far.
