Brands we sell

We are proud to be an authorized retailer of Certified Angus Beef! Certified Angus Beef is the best of the best AAA-grade beef, specifically chosen for it's marbling, texture, size, appearance, and tenderness.

Florence Meats in Oakville, Ontario specializes in South African cuts which are hard to find elsewhere.

Norpac beef, processed in Norwich, Ontario (a small town about 15 minutes south of Woodstock), is free from antibiotics, growth hormones and the animals have a 100% vegetarian diet and low-stress living conditions, so the meat is tender, lean and high-quality. All of the cattle come from and are raised on small, family-owned Ontario farms.

Prince Edward Island Certified Beef comes to us fresh each week from family farms in Canada's smallest province, Prince Edward Island. The cattle at the P.E.I. Certified Beef farms are raised in a traditional way, eating a natural diet of grass, clover silage, hay, and potatoes (P.E.I. is famous for it's potatoes). As a result, the beef is very rich in flavour and is well-marbled.

Brady's is proud to be one of the first butcher shops in Canada to sell Certified Island Beef!

Kobe (Wagyū) beef

By popular demand, Brady's now sells natural Wagyū beef! The breeds of cattle that produce Wagyū beef are specially chosen for the marbling of the meat, which produces a unique taste discovered in Japan long ago (Wagyū, or 和牛, literally means "Japanese cow"). The most well-known of the Wagyū breeds is Kobe, which has become synonymous with Wagyū in the West.

We regularly stock Australian Wagyū beef every week, in the following cuts:

• Wagyū Picanha,
• Wagyū Tri-tp,
• Wagyū Top sirloin (Roast Biff),
• Wagyū Striploins,
• Wagyū Ribeyes,
• Wagyū Tomahawks, and,
• Wagyū hot dogs.

We can also order Wagyū A5 from Japan.

Natural Beef

Natural beef is completely free from growth hormones and anti-biotics. We are proud to carry the product line from Atlantic Signature Beef from P.E.I. and Norpac Beef from Norwich, Ontario. We have all the cuts available fresh weekly.

Argentinian beef

We occasionally stock grass-fed striploins, ribeyes, and picanha fresh from Argentina. Call ahead to check availability!

Our Specialty Beef Products

We sell many different cuts, but there are some products that our community knows us for...

Baseball Steak

Try our now-famous steak! Baseball steaks are made from the centre cut of the Certified Angus top sirloin steak; aged for over 28 days for maximum tenderness. They're available in 6oz, 8oz, and 12oz sizes.

Biltong

Biltong is a South African variety of seasoned, air-dried beef; similar to beef jerky. We carry both whole and shredded biltong from Florence Meats of Oakville.

Boerewors

Boerewors is a South African beef sausage with special spices. We occasionally make our own fresh boerewors, but always carry frozen boerewors from Florence Meats of Oakville.

Burgers

At Brady's, we believe the bread should be around the burger, not in it! We offer burgers made from PEI Grass-Fed beef or Ontario beef. We regularly have all of the following varieties:

1. Brisket burgers,
2. Chuck burgers,
3. Sirloin burgers,
4. Bacon and cheddar burgers,
5. Jalapeno and cheddar burgers,
6. Dry-aged burgers, and,
7. Extra-lean grass-fed burgers.

We also sell Pork burgers and Chicken burgers (see those pages for details)!

Dry-Aged Beef

Call about our very own dry-aged beef. It's not always available, but when it is, it sure is worth the wait!

Most beef that you get in the supermarket has not been aged at all. But, chefs and foodies know that aged beef tastes much better — it has more flavour and melts in your mouth. A newer technique for aging beef, called wet-aging, involves vacuum-sealing the meat. The traditional way of aging beef, however, is to hang it until it is cut (dry-aging).

Rob's Famous Marinated Top Sirloin

The original Brady's steak — tender Certified Angus top sirloin, lightly coated in our black-pepper marinade. You can cook it in the oven, but it's best on the barbecue!

Our specialty cuts

Picanha

This is a cut popular in Brazil and South America (and now in Waterloo!). Picanha is also known as a sirloin cap or coulotte. Over 20 years ago, many Canadian consumers didn't know the term picanha; but it became popular when a Brazilian customer of ours requested some!

Tomahawk steaks

Tomahawk steaks are also known as long, bone-in ribeyes. They are great for entertaining!
