- Top Sirloin Steak: A versatile, lean cut that delivers big flavor and tenderness. It’s great for grilling, roasting, and pan searing. It comes from the upper portion of the sirloin, so it’s a great balance of leanness and flavor.

- Garlic: A flavorful bulb that is related to the onion family. It has a strong aroma (that fills your kitchen), taste that enhances your dish and is known for its versatility.
