For meat lovers, it’s rare — medium rare? — to find someone who has a beef with beef. Especially in Canada, where we’re so lucky to benefit from this luscious local specialty. This week, make it your mission to enjoy this delicious meat. Whether you’re using it for bolognese or enjoying a T-bone or burgers on the barbecue while you still can, show us why beef is the meat that can’t be beat. And vegetarians, don’t have a cow, man! There are a variety of veggie beef alternatives for you to enjoy for this mission.
