Meat Counter

Navigating the meat counter at the grocery store can be fun and easy, once you know what you’re looking for. When it comes to buying high quality beef, look for a brand name you can trust like High River Angus, and then pick a cut or grind best suited to what you need.

Don’t know which cut to pick? We love this handy interactive butcher counter at BeefItsWhatsforDinner.com helping you select the right cut for your meals.

Storing

Taking advantage of sales is a handy way to boost your beef budget, but you’ll want to remember to store your beef properly in the freezer and always defrost in the fridge, never on the counter.
