What is Ladd Drummond's idea of the perfect gift? Steak, of course! And while he'd much rather have a good home-cooked steak dinner over anything else, we have a pretty good feeling that he'd be happy to see a box of the best steaks for grilling arrive on his doorstep. Because believe it or not, even the Drummonds need to go out and buy their own steak! "One common misconception about living on a cattle ranch is that there's a never-ending supply of beef in the freezer," she says. And when you live pretty far from your nearest supermarket or butcher, having mail-order steaks shipped to your home is just about the best gift we can think of—whether it’s for Christmas, Father’s Day, or anything in between.
