We posed five rapid-fire questions to three
meat suppliers in town. Here’s the result.
HUBER’S BUTCHERY
I just received two last-minute RSVPs
for my dinner party on Friday night.
How fast can you deliver to me?
Order before 12 noon, and we will deliver
the next day.
I’ve got $100 to spend on a steak
dinner for two – what should I buy?
Two 300-gram Australian wagyu ribeye steaks with a
marbling score of 6/7 will cost you about $82.80. For
the same quality and size, you could expect to pay
around $250 in a restaurant.
Did I say $100 – I meant $25! Point
me in the right direction.
Go for a big 300-gram Australian grass-fed sirloin
steak. That would leave you with $3.40, which you can
use to buy a nice steak butter in flavours like café de
Paris, garlic and herb.
I don’t want anything with antibiotics
or hormones, or anything that was
corn-fed. What do you recommend?
Our certified 100-percent organic beef from
Australia. The livestock grazes on pasture totally free
from synthetic chemicals, herbicides and pesticides.
The animals are also free from antibiotics and growth
hormones, and the cattle do not feed on corn, grain or
animal, agricultural or industrial by-products. They eat
only grass and hay – the things, we believe, that cattle
are meant to eat. This means the beef possesses the
full mineral, nutrient and omega-3 fatty acid profiles
of typical green-pasture-raised animals.
How are you different from
the rest of the pack?
The MeaThesaurus guide on our website has loads
of information about beef, from diagrams and safety
guides to tips on grilling, barbecuing, pan-frying, stir-
frying, roasting, boiling, braising, stewing – even sous
vide cooking. Plus, our butchers are more than happy
to assist with recipes, tips and suggestions when you
order in the store, so that you know what to do with
your purchases once you get home.
