TLDR (Too Long, Didn’t Read)

As Halloween approaches, it's time to think about how to add some meaty delights to your spooky celebrations! Whether you’re hosting a haunted house, throwing a costume party, or simply enjoying a festive family dinner, Surf N' Turf has just the right cuts to make your Halloween unforgettable. Here’s how you can incorporate some special meat options into your festivities.

1. Spooky Charcuterie Board:

Kick off your Halloween festivities with a visually striking charcuterie board featuring Surf N' Turf's selection of meats. Use a variety of cured options like prosciutto, salami, and pepperoni, arranging them in fun shapes—think ghostly figures or spider webs! Pair these with local cheeses, olives, and nuts for an impressive appetizer. Don’t forget to add seasonal decorations like mini pumpkins to enhance the Halloween theme.

2. Pumpkin Spice Meatballs:

For a unique twist on a classic dish, try making pumpkin spice meatballs using ground beef or pork from Surf N' Turf. Mix in some pumpkin puree, breadcrumbs, and a blend of seasonal spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. Bake or pan-fry them and serve with a spooky dipping sauce—perhaps a tangy barbecue or a creamy ranch with a dash of food coloring for an eerie effect!

3. Ghoulish Grilled Skewers:

Fire up the grill for some fun and flavorful skewers! Use Surf N' Turf's fresh chicken or beef chunks, marinated in a Halloween-inspired sauce (think garlic, soy sauce, and a touch of sriracha for a kick). Add colorful bell peppers and onions to the skewers. Once grilled, serve them with a creepy dip—how about a “blood-red” salsa or a green avocado dip?

4. Creepy-Crawly Stuffed Peppers:

Transform bell peppers into mini jack-o'-lanterns! Hollow out orange or green peppers and stuff them with a delicious mixture of Surf N' Turf's ground meat, rice, black beans, and spices. Bake until the peppers are tender and the filling is heated through. Use olives or cheese to create faces, making these not only tasty but also festive!

5. Bone-In Ribeye for the Main Attraction:

For the ultimate Halloween feast, consider serving a bone-in ribeye steak from Surf N' Turf as the main course. This impressive cut is perfect for a special occasion. Season it with a blend of herbs and spices, then roast or grill it to perfection. Serve it alongside seasonal sides like roasted root vegetables or a salad with autumnal ingredients like apples and walnuts.

6. Halloween-Themed Meat Pies:

Bring a touch of tradition to your Halloween dinner with savory meat pies! Using Surf N' Turf's ground beef or lamb, combine with onions, garlic, and your favorite spices, then encase in pastry dough. Cut out Halloween shapes from extra dough to decorate the tops. Bake until golden brown and serve with a side of gravy for a comforting dish that will please all your guests.

7. Dessert Meat Treats:

Yes, you read that right! For a fun twist, consider making chocolate-covered bacon from Surf N' Turf. The sweet and salty combination makes for a delicious treat that’s perfect for Halloween. Simply bake strips of bacon until crispy, then dip in melted chocolate and let cool. You can even add sprinkles or crushed nuts for an extra festive touch.
