Grading is assigned by a certified grading expert and can be the perfect way to help select the right cut for the meal you’re cooking! Whether you’re looking for Canada Prime with the ultimate juiciness and flavour, or Canada AA for a leaner choice, there are options at all price points. Canada AAA is a nice middle ground with exceptional quality and affordability!
Shawn O’Donovan a.k.a. Poplar Smoke BBQ recruited his father, the one who taught him how to cook steak to try a blind taste test. Some of his best memories growing up involve cooking with his father.. and he loves his steak! Click here to learn more about beef grading.

A quick soak in alkaline solution made with baking soda is a common Chinese culinary technique called “velveting”. Christina Chow @cookingwithchow explains how the alkaline modifies the protein structure of the meat to boost juiciness, tenderness, and optimize browning. Prep the vegetables while the beef marinates and you’ll have this restaurant favourite on the table in no time.

When making Roast Beef, don’t skip this important step.
Andrea Buckett walks you through one of the most important steps when making a delicious roast beef. It’s step that is quite often over looked.
Do you ever see Canadian beef at the meat counter for 20%, 30% or50% off? Buy it, Andrea Buckett offers some great tips on how to save dollars and what to do with the beef.
This summer Andrea Buckett is leaning into the Canadian beef cuts that give great flavour and save me a little money at the checkout line. Andrea loves a ribeye or strip loin as much as the next gal but there are so many other flavourful cuts to choose from.
Can you guess the two lies that Andrea Buckett tells us?
Let’s start with the two lies or let’s call them myths. These are two that get circulated a lot and to be honest Andrea says, she’s probably believed them both at some point.
Using a thermometer is bar none the most accurate way to know when your steak is done. Pulling it off the grill about 10 degrees before it reaches your desired temperature and loosely tenting for 10 minutes will allow it to rise to its final temp. Canada Beef has spent years testing the best temperature to cook your steaks to from medium rare through to well done. So grab yourself a good instant read digital thermometer and a steak and get cooking.
