When you think food in Alberta, Canada, beef usually comes to mind. In fact, you don't need to drive far in this province to spot a bumper sticker, proudly proclaiming I ❤️ Alberta Beef. This week, we welcome a special guest, Charlotte Wasylik from Chatsworth Farm, located outside of Vermilion, Alberta, to chat all about beef.
Charlotte teaches us about her experience of life on a family farm, raising a quality beef product from start to finish, the beef industry itself and butchering the animals.
And of course, we talk about cooking beef! We get into various cuts of beef, recipes and tips for the home cook, and the importance of valuing - and the benefits of cooking - the whole animal.
Also, with Charlotte's helpful tips, Erin finally cooks a braised pot roast recipe she and her family love. In her words, she "earned her pot roast badge." Recipe link is below.
We hope you enjoy this episode. We know you're going to learn a whole lot from Charlotte. And you'll see there's no shortage of reasons for locals to sing the praises of the meat produced here.
Please support the Wasylik family of Chatsworth Farm if you can, or a farmer near you. Sadly, there's just no way to know where the beef in the grocery store comes from, or how it was raised. So, shop local when you can!
