Yes, chefs reach for comforting favorites,too — and now you can make them yours.

Try a Little Tenderness
The SRF tenderloin roast is an elevated centerpiece for both cozy winter meals and holiday gatherings.
Imagine a roast with the same fork-tender texture and mouthwatering flavor of an elegant filet mignon.
With an SRF American Wagyu tenderloin roast, you can bring that daydream into real life. We use the same cut for both our tenderloin roast and our top-selling filets mignons; the full beef tenderloin has a distinctive narrow shape and the power to make any holiday meal deluxe and delicious.
The best part about this elevated cut is its short cook time. You’ll spend less time in the kitchen and more time socializing with guests — though this tenderloin is so impressive your guests will never know. -

Taking Comfort in the Joys
Little things add up during the holidays, like pulling out the faded index card with your grandma’s cookie recipe or finally learning your dad’s secret for perfect prime rib (who knew it was the salt?!). Offering your 4-year-old niece the questionable advice told to you by your uncle: Santa has to drink so much milk — why not give him a little glass of whiskey, instead?
These are the small, glittering moments that create traditions and forge bonds over generations, and every family has their own. We asked our Snake River Farms colleagues for their favorite holiday comforts. The crazy thing is, every family is different, but our comforts share one intangible quality. They bring us closer together.
