No-Antibiotics-Ever Strip Steak
Start with high standards: The steak from our Meat department’s butcher case must always be Animal Welfare Certified and from animals raised with no antibiotics ever and no added hormones.† Strip steak is a tender cut with visible marbling, which can give the meat big flavor and juiciness. It loves a bold sauce, like one with a blast of soy sauce and sesame oil. To round out the meal, grab some vibrant green or rainbow chard while you’re at it — it sautés up in minutes and is perfect for balancing out the rich flavor of the beef.

Sustainable Wild Caught Halibut

Grill or pan-sear opens in a new tab some artichokes and peaches for dessert, and you’ve got yourself one seriously summery meal. (P.S. The halibut, along with the rest of the wild-caught seafood in our Seafood department, must always be certified or rated for sustainability.)

No-Antibiotics-Ever Chicken Kabobs
Too busy to prep for the grill? Pick up some ready-to-cook kabobs in our Meat department: They’re packed with veggies and no-antibiotics-ever chicken. Choose pre-marinated or marinate your own in something zingy and salty-sweet. Raise the stakes (or kabobs) by threading on some grill-friendly fruit opens in a new tab like pineapple chunks — they’ll get caramelized and extra sweet.
Sustainable Wild Caught Chilean Sea Bass
Mild yet rich and lightly sweet, sustainable wild-caught Chilean sea bass is another firm fillet that holds up well to the grill and loves an umami-packed marinade. Keep your meals on the lighter side with sweet summer veggies like snap peas and bright green salads. For a crispy-creamy side, boil small new potatoes, then smash and fry lightly in a skillet for crackling outsides.
