The only thing more endearing than receiving a ham from a loved one around the holidays is accepting a heart-shaped box of sirloins from a mailman dressed like Cupid. Court carnivorous, mail order eats with today's Groupon: for $49, you get $100 worth of surf 'n' turf deliveries from New York Steak & Seafood Company. Buyers can use part of their Groupon's value toward the $19.95 shipping fee that covers any sized order shipped within the continental United States.

New York Steak & Seafood Company's experienced meat mailers sling vacuum-sealed stacks of steak or shellfish onto doorsteps across the country. Six 11-ounce cuts of new york strip steaks ($73/box) arrive marbled, trimmed, and ready to perform their synchronized sizzling routine before kitchen audiences. Nab 16 7-ounce skirt steaks ($99/box) to dress naked plates or legs in the savory looks of the season. Delicate, Brazil-bred lobster tails ($66 for six) beg to be steamed, and 5-pound bags of jumbo cooked ($69) or uncooked ($75) shrimp create a carnival of culinary possibilities. Turkey, duck, and chicken, as well as lamb, pork, and veal are also available to prepare massive feasts or stuff inside each other. Prior to shipping in an insulated, reusable foam cooler, meat packagers preserve freshness by flash-freezing each order.
