Ribeye Steak
A favourite among steak enthusiasts, the Ribeye is known for its marbling, and it delivers a tender, juicy texture with an intense beefy flavour that only improves with cooking.
The fat within the marbling melts as it cooks, enriching the meat with buttery notes and making each bite incredibly satisfying. Known as a “cut above the rest,” Ribeyes are great for grilling, pan-searing, or oven-roasting, each method enhancing the flavours and textures.
For those seeking a great steak experience, Ribeyes are perfect for date nights or celebrations, and can be pre-seasoned simply with salt and pepper to let the natural richness shine. The Ribeye’s boldness also pairs well with a red wine reduction or compound butter for a restaurant-quality meal at home.
AAA Beef Striploin Steak
The AAA Beef Striploin offers a balanced profile, combining a satisfying bite with rich beef flavour. It’s slightly leaner than the Ribeye, providing a meatier texture that appeals to those who appreciate a firmer steak without excessive marbling.
Striploins cook great on any grill or in a cast-iron skillet, with their natural flavours enhanced by a quick sear over high heat. With a versatile flavour, the Striploin easily pairs with various seasonings, from classic garlic and herbs to bolder rubs.
As a crowd-pleaser that’s easy to cook, this cut is great for family dinners or backyard cookouts, allowing everyone to enjoy a quality steak with a familiar taste.

Beef Tenderloin Steak
Beef Tenderloin, often called filet mignon, is celebrated for its extraordinary tenderness and mild, refined flavour. With virtually no marbling, it is a lean cut yet retains a smooth, almost buttery texture.
This steak is best suited for high-heat searing, followed by a gentle finish in the oven to preserve its delicacy. It’s commonly served with a sauce or compound butter to enhance its subtle taste, making it ideal for occasions that call for elegance and simplicity. Tenderloin is a very popular choice for special family dinners.
Whether it's for a romantic date or a family meal, the Tenderloin offers an exquisite dining experience that will impress a guest.
Brisket
Known for its deep flavour and hearty texture, Brisket is the perfect cut for low-and-slow cooking methods that tenderize the meat while intensifying its taste.
Popular in BBQ and traditional dishes, Brisket is often smoked, braised, or slow-roasted until it becomes tender, with the meat practically falling apart. This cut is commonly used for gatherings and comfort meals, lending itself well to hearty dishes like BBQ brisket sandwiches, stews, or corned beef. Its texture and rich flavour are complemented by marinades and rubs, often highlighting smoky, spicy, or savoury profiles.
Brisket’s versatility makes it a staple for both holiday spreads and casual BBQs, bringing bold flavours to the table every time.
Flank Steak
Flank Steak is a lean, flavourful cut popular for its bold taste and adaptable nature. It’s best suited for marinating, as its fibrous texture absorbs flavours deeply, creating a tender, juicy result when cooked quickly over high heat.
Flank Steak’s versatility makes it a great choice for stir-fries, tacos, fajitas, and salads, especially when thinly sliced against the grain to maximize tenderness. It’s a staple in international cuisines, pairing well with anything from chimichurri to teriyaki sauces.
For home cooks, Flank Steak is an exciting canvas for experimentation and trying out new marinades and cooking techniques, from broiling to grilling.
Specialty and Marinated Beef Cuts
Korean-Marinated Short Ribs
Korean-Marinated Short Ribs are tender and savoury. They are marinated in a blend of soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and a touch of sweetness. The unique cross-cutting style allows the marinade to seep into the meat, creating a juicy, flavourful bite that’s great for grilling or searing in a pan.
These short ribs are traditionally enjoyed as part of Korean BBQ, where the meat’s caramelized edges and juicy interior shine. They’re perfect for gatherings or family meals, as the marinated flavours offer a blend of savoury and slightly sweet that appeals just about everyone.

Mexican-Marinated Skirt Steak
Skirt Steak is known for its rich flavour and slightly coarse texture. It really shines when marinated with bold, spicy flavours.
Marinated with a Mexican-inspired blend of lime, garlic, and spices, this cut is particularly popular for dishes like fajitas, tacos, and grilled salads. Skirt steak’s texture holds onto the marinade, resulting in a flavourful experience after a quick, high-heat cook.
The charred exterior and juicy interior make it an exciting choice for grilling or pan-searing. For a traditional touch, pair with fresh salsa, guacamole, and tortillas, or add it to a salad. Skirt steak’s flavour and versatility make it a favourite for those who enjoy experimenting with vibrant cuisines.

Demi-Glace for Beef Lovers
Demi-glace is a luxurious, deeply concentrated beef sauce made by reducing a blend of stock, aromatics, and wine until it’s thick and rich in umami. It’s a finishing touch for beef dishes that adds a savoury layer of flavour to steaks, roasts, and even burgers.
This sauce is for those looking to elevate their home-cooked meals to restaurant-quality, as a drizzle of demi-glace on a steak or roast enhances the natural flavours and adds depth.
Demi-glace is commonly used with red meat, particularly cuts like Tenderloin and Ribeye, giving an added richness that transforms any dish into an better experience.
Exclusive Offers on Premium Beef Cuts
Tomahawk Steak
The Tomahawk, often called the “showstopper” of steaks, is a bone-in ribeye with a long bone that gives it a mammoth presentation. Known for its incredible marbling and large portion size, the Tomahawk is perfect for sharing, or impressing family and guests at gatherings.
Like a ribeye, its beefy flavour and tenderness make it ideal for grilling or reverse-searing, where the meat can be cooked slowly before a final, high-heat sear. The Tomahawk is a must-try anyone who considers themselves a steak enthusiast.
Seasoned with just salt and pepper, or with a dry rub, this meal is going to stand out from the rest.
Dry-Aged Ribeye
Dry-Aging takes the Ribeye to the next level by enhancing its natural flavours and creating a unique, concentrated taste. The process involves allowing the beef to age in a temperature and humidity controlled environment, which breaks down enzymes in the meat, resulting in an incredibly tender texture and a rich, nutty flavour.
This premium cut is ideal for serious steak lovers who want to experience beef at its finest. Cooked with salt and pepper, the Dry-Aged Ribeye shines on its own, allowing the flavours developed through aging to take centre stage.
It’s best seared over high heat, providing a delicious crust that complements its complex, intense taste! You have to treat yourself sometimes.

Beef for Stews & Roasts
When it comes to comforting stews and succulent roasts, these cuts from the chuck section deliver rich flavour and tender texture after slow-cooking.
- Beef Chuck is famous for its marbling, and it breaks down beautifully in a long braise. It will infuse soups and stews with beefy flavours and will be melt-in-your-mouth tender.
- Blade Roast, another chuck cut, offers similar benefits, with enough connective tissue to enrich stews and roasts with a silky, satisfying mouthfeel.
- Boneless Chuck Eye Steak (often used as a mini roast) has just the right amount of marbling for a juicy, tender result, whether it's slow-roasted or cooked in a Dutch oven.
These cuts are great for recipes that call for longer cooking times, such as classic pot roast, beef stew, or French-style boeuf bourguignon.
