Ever tried a Y-Bone steak? 🥩
If you haven’t, think of it as a little bit like the beef version of a lamb forequarter chop, a bone-in cut from the shoulder that brings plenty of flavour to the plate.

The Y-Bone comes from the shoulder region of the cow, specifically from a cross-section of the shoulder blade. And, as the name suggests, it has that distinctive Y-shaped bone running through the cut.

It’s a great one for the BBQ or grill. Get your cooking surface nice and hot, give it a good sear, then let the steak rest before serving.

Need some extra help? Ask one of our Master Butchers next time you're in store, they'll be happy to point you in the right direction. 👌

Have you tried Y-Bone before?
👇 Tell us in the comments, how did you like it?

The biggest mistake people make when buying steak? 🥩

Choosing the wrong cut for the job.

Not every steak is designed to be cooked the same way and the cut you choose can make a big difference to the final result.

Planning a quick midweek dinner? Cooking low and slow? Firing up the BBQ?

Tell your butcher how you want to cook it, and let them recommend the right cut for the job.

That’s one of the best parts about buying from your local butcher, you don't have to figure it out alone.

Save this one for your next steak shop 👌

Need a shortcut for dinner this week? 👇
Convenience doesn’t have to mean reaching for another heavily processed meal.

Our Ready to Heat & Eat range gives you an easy option when time is short with favourites like Beef Wellingtons, pies, lasagnes and savoury pastries, all prepared and pre-cooked for you.

Simply heat until golden brown, add a side of veggies or salad, and dinner is on the table 🙌

Less prep. Less fuss. More time back with the family.

Some stories from the early days of the business are hard to believe… 😂
When Scott first opened in Armidale, he had a young team of butchers who were clearly very committed to their jobs.

One Friday night, rather than heading home after a big night, the boys decided to sleep in the delivery truck so they wouldn't be late for work the next morning.

The only problem? Well, you can piece the rest of it together!

Those early Armidale days certainly came with a few stories and plenty of characters.

👇 Were you around in the early Armidale days? Tell us your favourite memory from back then. We’d love to hear it.
