Recommended for first-timers! How to enjoy The Meat Guy's Trial Set!

Shopping at an online shop for the first time may bring up some concerns. There’s always a worry of how fresh the meat will be, the taste, and the condition in which it will arrive. On top of all that, there’s also a bunch of different options! We know it can be overwhelming, so we’ve taken the hard part out and collected all our customer-favorites in one convenient trial set for anyone who’s never ordered at The Meat Guy before! 　　　

Today, we’ll be showing you how to make the most out of The Meat Guy’s trial set. Check it out! 　　　

IF IT’S YOUR FIRST TIME AT OUR ONLINE MEAT STORE, THIS IS THE PERFECT SET FOR YOU!

The Meat Guy is offering a value trial set for all first-time customers! The set includes 7 of our most popular products at a fraction of the total cost! It is 6,980 yen including FREE SHIPPING!

Here’s a quick look at all the items in the trial set as well as some simple and delicious recipes you can try using the meat. We’ve made the recipes easy enough so that even those who aren’t so skilled in the kitchen can follow along. Here we go!

IF IT’S YOUR FIRST TIME AT OUR ONLINE MEAT STORE, THIS IS THE PERFECT SET FOR YOU

SPICY SAUSAGE 500G (5 PCS.)

Out of all our original raw sausages, this is probably the most popular! Since this sausage has never been pre-cooked or heated, please make sure to cook it thoroughly before eating. It uses lamb casing, which gives the sausage a nice crunch when biting into it. This one’s so juicy and simply addicting!

RIBEYE STEAK 270G

Ribeye is generally known to be leaner and healthier than striploin. This steak is filled with umami, yet still remains soft and tender with its moderate fat content. A simple sprinkle of the included steak spice before cooking is enough to make this steak delicious! Enjoy the rich flavor of lean meat!

PETITE FILET MIGNON 180G

This part is the most expensive and softest cut of beef. Cook it as is and enjoy the simple but oh so rich flavor!

STEAK SPICE 120G

This is The Meat Guy’s original steak spice mix. It’s got just the right amount of saltiness, balanced with a mix of different spices to elevate any steak! Season your steaks with this spice before grilling to make them extra delicious. This can also be used on grilled vegetables, stir-fried dishes, and other fried dishes.

DUCK MAGRET (DUCK BREAST) 350G

This one’s duck breast from duck that’s been raised specifically for foie gras. This duck breast is nice and moist, rich in fat and natural duck meat flavor.

LAMB CHOPS 260G

This one’s some pre-cut lamb chops! Having the bone attached makes it so much easier to eat with your hands! Cook until medium doneness and have yourself a fancy feast tonight!

CHICKEN BREAST 1KG

Kinso-dori is a local brand of chicken from Aichi prefecture. This chicken meat has a light and refreshing flavor. Each pack contains 3-4 pieces of chicken breast meat.

CHOCOLATE BROWNIE 1 PIECE

These moist brownies are filled with chocolatey goodness! They may remind you of the brownies you get on an in-flight meal in the U.S.

The trial set contains all 7 of the products listed above. There’s quite a lot of products included in the set so make sure to free up some space in your freezer before ordering! 　　　　　　　

Meat purchased from The Meat Guy is vacuum-sealed and delivered frozen, so a bit of time is needed for thawing. Here are a couple points to remember when it comes to thawing frozen meat.
First: make sure NOT to thaw at room temperature. The difference between the temperature in the freezer and room temperature is too big, so if you do this, the meat quality will end up being damaged and also result in a large amount of “drip”. The umami will also get flushed out with that “drip”, so make sure to use a thawing method that results in the least amount of drip as possible. There are a number of thawing methods that prevent drip, but the easiest would have to be thawing in the refrigerator. The thawing time will of course depend on how big the meat is. For meat that’s smaller than a 1kg block, it should be thawed out in about a day. Meat that’s bigger than that might take around 2 days or more.

Second: If you’re thawing meat in the refrigerator, make sure to put the meat in a tray or bowl. You can also place it inside a thick plastic bag if you like. This is to prevent any leakage in case the original wrapping of the meat has been damaged during shipping. Nobody wants a dirty fridge! 　　　　　　

EASY RECIPES USING THE TRIAL SET MEAT

The trial set includes meats like steak and chicken that you may already be familiar with. However, it also has a couple meats that you may not be accustomed to. Meat like duck breast and lamb chops may be intimidating to people who have never cooked it before.
So, here are a couple simple and easy recipes you can use to help you get the ball rolling!
The included steak spice is also an all-around awesome spice to have at home. We’ll be showing you how to use this versatile spice on dishes other than steak.
Start off by thawing the meat in the refrigerator for about 2 days.
