Black Truffle-Infused Olive Oil

We especially recommend using a few drops of this fragrant oil on your pastas & potato dishes!

Indian Mango Chutney
Bring the flavors of the Far East right to your home with this popular dipping sauce/marinade. Aside from creating fusion dishes, this product also makes a delicious fruit spread... so don't limit yourself to just serving up Indian cuisine in order to enjoy it!

Bring Romance Home for Valentine's Day

The crowd, the long wait, lousy service, the noise, the parking, and the reservations... romantic, right? These are just a few of the bothers that can make going out less than lovable on Valentine's Day.

Why not ditch the V-Day madness and stay home with your honey? Southern Grocery Company has got you covered if you're looking for a great steak to go along with your great company. Try our Petite Teres Steaks for a gourmet dinner in the privacy and comfort of your own home, where you can talk and enjoy the evening. Add a baked potato and a salad and you've got a meal to rival any steakhouse with none of the hassle! 

This all-natural meat is melt-in-your-mouth tender and the perfect way to show you care. This cut gets its name from the teres major, a seldom-use muscle shoulder of a cow. Because of its infrequent use, this portion of the beef makes it second only to tenderloin filet in terms of tenderness.

So bring home the chocolates and roses and prepare a fancy five-star-feast with your loved one. With Petite Teres Steaks on your dinner menu, a white tablecloth, some candles, and good company—“voila!” your romantic evening dinner is set.

Don’t forget to include a great dessert to share like Caramel Fudge Pecan Cake, Cognac Pumpkin Cheesecake, or another one of SoGroCo's many gourmet selections. After all, Valentine's Day only comes once a year!


Visit SoGroCo.com TODAY to order your Petite Teres Steaks delivered direct to your home for a Valentine's Day you and your special someone won't soon forget!

Roses are Red, but Caramel Fudge Pecan Cake is Better!

The parade of the Roses in L.A. might remind you about that special day of the year when we proudly recognize our affection for a loved one. We're talking about Valentine's Day, and it's right around the corner!

While there are so many innovative Valentine's Day gift ideas out there today the two most common presents still seem to be: 

- a box of goodies (which are usually chocolates) or
- a bouquet of fresh flowers (which are typically roses).  

Sure, the say-it-with-flowers route may be the easiest solution for properly professing your love to someone on the 14th of this month, but why not take the gesture of "I love you" to a whole new level this year--with a Caramel Fudge Pecan Cake from Southern Grocery?!

If the name of this gourmet confection alone isn't enough to sway you from spending a hefty amount on those flowers from your local supermarket, here's a little comparison that may help break you out of that boring bouquet of a tradition...

Roses
The smell: the typical scent of flowers picked from the garden, or even the distinct fragrance that reminds you of your Great Aunt Martha's perfume.
The taste: none. 
Shelf life: dead after 2-3 days.
Response to gift: brief excitement, along with a parking spot for your present at the nearest end table/window sill (only to be soon forgotten).

Caramel Fudge Pecan Cake
The smell: the wafting aroma of melted caramel, continuous whiffs of chocolate fudge and the lingering essence of baked goods (just like Grandma's house).

Shelf life: several weeks (until served. At that point, it could be gone in a matter of minutes).
The taste: could be described with 3 letters... O-M-G. That's short for Ooey, Marvelous & Gooey!
Response to gift: few words of gratitude, but only because your beloved may be too busy indulging.

Still considering flowers?! We surely hope you aren't. This coming Valentine's Day skip that ordinary offering of red roses and send your paramour an edible piece of Heaven from Southern Grocery instead. 

To have a Caramel Fudge Pecan Cake delivered to sweetheart's doorstep or to shop our selection of other gourmet desserts visit SoGroCo.com TODAY.

Here’s to Valentine's Day gifts that'll tease not only hearts...but taste buds too!

Four Ways to Bring Your Family to the Table with Top Sirloin

Top sirloin is a delicious, affordable, and most importantly, flexible cut of meat that can be adapted to a wide variety of recipes. Southern Grocery Company's gourmet Top Sirloin Steaks have just the right marbling to create melt-in-your-mouth, crowd-pleasing flavor. 

Here are four ideas for putting these delicious steaks to work in your kitchen:

Grilled sirloin: Fire up the grill and throw on serving-sized portions of top sirloin. Before you head outside, season them simply with a little bit of sea salt, cracked pepper, garlic powder, even some lemon pepper seasoning or seasoned salt, whatever your family enjoys the most. Grill to your desired doneness, about 4-5 minutes per side. Be careful not to flip them too often, so you get those great grill marks. Serve your steaks with the traditional baked potato and side salad. Sauteed mushrooms or onions make great toppers for the steak. Alternatively, you can thread chunks of sirloin onto to skewers with peppers, onions, mushrooms, and tomatoes for delicious kabobs on the grill. 

Roasted sirloin and veggies: This is a "kitchen sink" kind of recipe where you can throw in almost any vegetables you've got in your refrigerator. It's a great way to use up things that might be on their way out, so to speak. Basically, put a little olive oil in the bottom of a large roasting pan. Throw in whatever vegetables you like. Root vegetables like carrots, rutabagas, turnips, or parsnips work well or you could try zucchini, yellow squash, and tomatoes. Even Brussels sprouts could be good. Make sure to cut the veggies into similarly sized pieces. Roast the vegetables in the oven at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes, until they start to soften. The timing will depend on the kinds of vegetables you choose, so watch them pretty carefully. Clear some space in the roasting pan for your sirloin and roast it for 8-10 minutes, turning over halfway through cooking. Finishing the veggies with the steaks will give you out of this world flavor!

Pan-seared steak and eggs: Everybody loves breakfast for dinner and this is a great way to do it! Heat up your cast iron skillet over medium-high heat with 3 tablespoons of canola oil and 2 tablespoons of butter to add flavor and make sure your steaks don't stick to the pan. Season the steaks like you would for the grill and cook them about 5-6 minutes per side, depending on the how done you like them. Let the steaks rest while you prepare eggs and toast to accompany them. 

Baked sirloin fajitas: You can enjoy all the flavors from your favorite Mexican restaurant at home. Cut your top sirloin into bite-sized pieces and season with fajita seasoning or cumin, salt, and pepper. Then, cut up a red bell pepper, a green bell pepper, and a large onion into strips. If you and your family can take the heat, chop a jalapeno in very small pieces. You can also try mushrooms and tomatoes, if you like. Toss the meat and veggies into a roasting pan with some olive oil. Bake at 400 degrees for about 15-20 minutes or until the veggies soften and the meat is done to your liking. Serve on flour tortillas with all the traditional toppings like cheese, lettuce, pico de gallo, sour cream, and guacamole.

There's so much you can do with this delicious, adaptable cut of meat. Plus, you can get SoGroCo's Top Sirloin Steaks delivered right to your door, fresh from the farm.
