Ontario beef

Beef is protein-rich and packed with essential nutrients. It’s an excellent source of muscle-building protein and iron for energy. Beef is high in Vitamin B12 which helps keep our brains in shape at any age. It also contains Vitamin D which helps build strong bones and teeth, and potassium which helps protect bones from osteoporosis. The top grades of beef in Canadian supermarkets and butcher shops are Canada AAA, Canada AA and Canada A. The more marbling, which are the lines of fat that run through the meat and adds flavour and juiciness, the higher the grade. Canada AAA beef is the highest grade. Trust the “best before” or “packaged on” date for the best indicator of freshness and not by the colour of the meat. For more information about Ontario beef, please visit Foodland Ontario Beef.

What is the best cut of beef for stew?

You can use braising steak or stewing beef, also known as chuck. It the best (and most inexpensive) cut of meat for stew because it becomes tender and more flavourful when cooked for a long period of time.

What can I substitute for the stout beer?

You can use any dark ale or any dark and robust beer. Using a dark beer gives this meat pie a deeply rich and flavourful gravy. If you prefer not to use any beer, then simply substitute with more beef broth, but you’re not going to get that deep robust flavour from the gravy.
