Karv April 2018 Review
Garlic & Herb Seasoning
Karv included a free tin of seasoning to try out with your meat dishes. This is a great freebie!
My box included a variety of information with tips on unboxing, meal prep, and recipe inspiration.
The included recipe book has some great ideas for meals you can make with the month's deliveries. The photography is also pretty great.
Beef Ribeye Steak
Serving Size: 10 oz.
Calories Per Serving: 120
I was really impressed with this ribeye. Grass fed, decent marbling and it cooked up super tender. I simply pan fried it in a cast iron skillet in butter and finished off with a simple chimichurri sauce. Deeeeelicious.
Beef Florentine Pinwheel
Serving Size: 8 oz.
Calories Per Serving: 450
Beef Shaved Steak
Serving Size: 7 oz.
Calories Per Serving: 340
I didn't get a chance to cook this up, but if it’s anything close to the quality of the steak I’m in for real treat.
French B/I Pork Chop
Serving Size: 12 oz.
Calories Per Serving: 580
This French cut heritage pork chop was insane. That’s the only word I can think of to describe it. I’m not even exaggerating when I say this turned out to be one of the best pork chops I’ve ever eaten. I pan fried in olive oil with garlic and sundried tomatoes and finished off with fresh basil. This was a real treat to eat.
Whole Pork Tenderloins
Serving Size: 7 oz.
Calories Per Serving: 240
As with the shaved steak, I didn’t have a chance to cook this up, but if it’s anything like the chop..look out taste buds!
Ground Beef
Serving Size: 8 oz.
Calories Per Serving: 260
Just like the steak, this is grass fed ground beef. Very, very good. I cooked some meatballs with this pack of beef and it did not disappoint.
Chicken Thighs
Serving Size: 7 oz.
Calories Per Serving: 280
Two packs of boneless chicken thighs are included in this month’s box. I had a chance to cook these up and they were very, very tender. I’m a big fan of chicken thighs and I have to say these tasted magnificent just pan fried in olive oil with some of the included herb seasoning thrown on.
Chicken Cutlet
Serving Size: 6 oz.
Calories Per Serving: 170
Two packs of chicken cutlets were included in the box. I cooked these up the same as the thighs. They were still good, but naturally not as juicy as the thighs.
Chicken Breast
Serving Size: 6 oz.
Calories Per Serving: 170
This was an above average chicken breast. I ended up doing a Mediterranean-esque entree with it. Pan fried in olive oil and topped with olives and sundried tomatoes. I don’t usually cook a lot of chicken breasts because they tend to be dry and not as tender as thighs, but this was really good.
Verdict: I’m someone who cooks and eats a lot, and I can say that the meats in the Karv box were very, very good. The grass-fed beef was amazing. The pork chop was insane! Everything in this box that I sampled was of a very high quality and I felt that justifies the $99 a month price.
To Wrap Up:
