I recently wrote about Allen Brothers for their new Emeril Lagasse branded steaks but the Allen Brothers main brand is also worth mentioning especially since grilling season is officially underway. Allen Brothers sells USDA Prime beef, the prized meat used by the nation's premium chop houses. Less than two percent of all beef in the country is graded Prime, and only the best of that top two percent is deemed good enough by the master butchers at Allen Brothers.

With Father's Day coming it's the perfect time to treat your favorite dad to some prime beef.For Father's Day, Allen Brothers has a large number of selections that are fit for the king in your life – everything from burgers to gourmet steak dogs to lobsters, filet mignons and ribeyes. One great option for Father's Day is Breakfast on the Grill with Allen Brother's Petite Breakfast Steak Sampler, which includes two 4-ounce filets mignon, two 6-ounce sirloin strips and two 8-ounce ribeyes.

Another option, and one of the newest items for Spring 2010 just in time for Father's Day, is "Todd's Prime Assortment" – named after Allen Brothers' President Todd Hatoff. The selection includes two 6-ounce filets mignon, two 6-ounce center-cut eye rib steaks™ and two 6-ounce baseball-cut strip steaks.

We are giving one lucky Luxist reader a shortcut, one winner will receive an Allen Brothers prize pack. The package features two Wagyu long Bone Ribeye steaks 30-34 ounces each and 12 Great Steakhouse USDA Prime Steak Burgers, 10ounces each.

Chef Emeril Wants To Sell You Steaks

Filed under: Dining

Emeril Lagasse isn't just a chef, he's an empire. The chef, who already has his own line of spices and pans has partnered with Allen Brothers Steaks to launch Emeril's Red Marble Steaks. The products will be available for purchase online beginning May 1st at RedMarbleSteaks.com. The Emeril-branded steaks will be high-quality cuts of beef that include filet mignon, bone-in rib eyes, classic Porterhouse, New York strips, rib roasts, tenderloins, and more. It's not clear from the press release what makes these steaks different from other Allen Brothers steaks.

Allen Brothers Steaks was founded in 1893 in Chicago's Union Stockyards area and is the country's leading source of USDA Prime. Thee brand can be found in many steakhouses around the country. Emeril Lagasse joined the Martha Stewart family of brands in 2008 when Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia acquired the assets related to Emeril's media and merchandising business, including television programming, cookbooks and his licensed kitchen and food products so this is a good deal for Miss Martha too.
