Our Products

At Brady’s, we bring in many quality meat, deli and grocery products from all over the world. Unlike some of the larger stores, we also know all of the food we sell: we sample each product line before we sell it to ensure quality.

If you cannot find a product that you are looking for, please let us know: we can probably find it and order it for you!

This book contains a short listing of some of most popular products. Please bear with us as we try to update it with more information.

Beef

At Brady’s we take pride in all the products we sell, especially our beef. Every primal cut we sell is aged for at least 28 days.

Our most popular cuts are:

Certified Angus Beef®

We are proud to be an authorized retailer of Certified Angus Beef.

Our best-selling steak is our Marinated Top Sirloin, drizzled with our own special blend of spices and a hint of pepper

Natural Beef

Local Ontario Natural beef is now available at Brady’s. We are proud to carry the product line from Atlantic Signature Beef and Norpac Beef. Natural Beef is completely free from growth hormones and anti-biotics. We have all the cuts available fresh weekly.

The Foodies Blog
The Foodies blog has a great article about Certified Artisan Beef!

Norpac Beef

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.

Atlantic Signature Beef

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

Wagyū (Kobe) Beef

By popular demand, Brady’s now sells natural Wagyū beef from Oakleigh Ranch / Green Pasture Meat Co. in Australia. 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 don’t bring in Wagyū beef all the time, but we would be happy to give you a call when we bring some in! Just leave your name and phone number with us, and we’ll let you know when we have some on order.

Hard-to-find Products

Looking for hard-to-find products like oxtails or beef liver? We can order it for you on short notice!

Boerewors

Boerewors is a South African beef sausage with special spices. Look for frozen boerewors in our freezer section!

Biltong

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

Our Specialty Products

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

International Beef Eaters Award
Outstanding Quality & Exceptional Service
The Lake of Bays chapter of the Muskoka Beef Eaters awarded Brady’s Meat & Deli their 2004 International Beef Eaters award for outstanding quality and exceptional service.

Below are some of the beef products that we specialize in:

Dry-Aged Beef

Call about our 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 (this is known as dry-aging).

Baseball Steak

Try our now famous steak! The same centre-cut, Certified Angus Beef top sirloin steak; aged for over 28 days for maximum tenderness is now available in both the classic 12–oz and thew new 8–oz sizes.

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!

Beef Burgers

At Brady’s, we believe the bread should be around the burger, not in it. Our Beef Burgers come in 4–, 5– and 8–oz patties of pure Natural beef. They are seasoned, and contain no fillers or binders; just fresh Ontario beef.

Bison

Bison (also known as buffalo) meat is very lean and healthy. Our naturally raised bison arrives fresh every week from Alberta, and we have many cuts available.

Ground Bison

Look in our freezer section for ground bison!

Pork

Brady’s has a number of fine pork products available at both locations. All of our pork is natural, meaning there are no growth hormones or antibiotics. Most of the pork is locally–raised and processed by Conestoga Meats; the rest comes from Perth Pork Products in Sebringville, Ontario. We sell many cuts, but our most popular ones are:

Ontario Berkshire Pork

Berkshire Pork is one of the highest quality pork products on the market, and it arrives fresh every Wednesday from Perth Pork Products, delivered by the farmer himself! Berkshire pork is made from a breed of pig not usually found in Canada. Berkshire pork has a little more marbling than regular pork, but the meat is tender, juicy and full of flavour. More information is available from our supplier’s information sheet.

Our Berkshire Pork is not organic, but it is raised in the traditional way: in a humane environment in barns with natural ventilation and loose housing, where pigs have access to the outside air. The animals are bedded with lots of straw and their feed consists of mainly barley, soy-bean meal, vitamins and minerals. The farmer does not give them corn, antibiotics, growth hormones or animal byproducts.

  • Chicken schnitzel
  • Whole chickens

Flat Chickens

Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to Brady’s of course! Try our new semi-boneless “flattened” chickens! We take out all the bones out except the drum and wings — the chicken is left intact with the skin on. Cooking time is really short — we recommend about 45 minutes in a 350˚F (176˚C) oven or barbecuing them with indirect heat for the best flavour. Of course, carving the cooked bird has never been easier!

The Foodies Blog

We sell the flattened chickens plain or marinated. Our most popular marinade is the Thai-licious marinade, which comes in three flavours: mild (which is sweet), medium (which is a little spicy, but not too much) and hot. We usually have other marinades to choose from, such as lime–coconut and Mediterranean (a blend of curry and pepper).

Chicken Breast

Our boneless, skinless chicken breasts arrive fresh every week from Québec. They are grain-fed, air-chilled and drug-free. The chicken is available both plain and seasoned. For no extra charge, we can season the chicken breasts for you with one of our many marinades.
