The best steak gifts include everything from gift cards to premium cuts of beef delivered straight to the recipient. Steak lovers can be picky about their steak, and they certainly know a lot about the cuisine; however, a well thought-out steak gift is sure to be welcomed. After you have determined your budget and time frame, decide if you would like to gift the steak lover in your life with a gift card, premium beef or tools to prep and serve.

Gift Cards

Giving someone a gift card to a well-regarded steak company can provide a wonderful change of pace during the holidays or another celebration. Block & Cleaver, for example, offers gift cards for amounts ranging from $25 to $250. With steak that is not cut until delivery day, your gift recipient will be able to enjoy fresh, high-quality meat whenever he would like. A gift card to a highly regarded steak house, such as Ruth's Chris (nationwide) or a local establishment such as House of Prime Rib (San Francisco) or Bern's Steak House (Tampa), is sure to be a hit when it's time to open the gifts.

Giving someone the convenience of fresh, top-of-the-line steak delivered straight to his doorstep can be a winning gift. Omaha Steaks offers a gift plan, which allows you to have steak delivered to the recipient's home on a regular basis throughout the year. You can choose if you want deliveries every three months, or every month of the year. Allen Brothers also ships steak assortments, ranging from porterhouse to steakhouse chili. This is an ideal gift for someone cooking a holiday meal; it will save them time and bring great flavor to the plates of their loved ones.

For the steak lover who has seen (and eaten) it all, you may consider branching out to cutlery and other steak-related accessories when you are doing your gift shopping. There are many different steak knife sets available through fine retailers such as Williams-Sonoma, and they will ship anywhere in the United States. Steak sauces and marinades are also ideal to round out a gift, and you can purchase them everywhere from your local grocer to online shops of well-known companies such as Tabasco.
