Cannings Free Range Butchers

Honey soy drumettes for the weekend! Just throw them in the oven on 180C for 30 - 40 mins and they're ready to go. So sticky, sweet and moreish 😋

Friday rib eye anyone? Celebrate the start of the weekend with some beautiful grass fed and finished beef! 🎉

Grass fed and finished Beef Short Ribs are one of the best braising cuts you can buy. When slow cooked this cut will give you super tender, fall off the bone beef, which is why it's such a popular cut for fine dining restaurants. Fantastic in a red wine sauce!

Beautiful grass fed and finished Beef Osso Bucco. This cut is perfect for braising, and is traditionally slow cooked in a tomato and white wine sauce. A big bonus when cooking with Osso is that you get to enjoy a big chunk of rich bone marrow in the centre of each piece - yum 😋

Have you tried our new Beef Massaman Pot Pies yet? Made with tender morsels of premium beef and potato, topped with flaky filo pastry. Super easy to throw in the oven and so delicious!

Our free range Chicken Kievs at Cannings Tooronga 😍 so good for the chilly months!

Our favourite way to cook these is to start them in a pan on the stove with loads of butter, gently crisping up on all sides, then transfer to the oven for the final stage of cooking. This gives them a really crunchy finish and ensures all of that buttery goodness soaks into every bit of the crumb!

Lamb loin chops a.k.a.the "T-Bone steak" of lamb. This cut is so juicy, tender and flavoursome. Sear these on a hot pan until they develop a nice crust and crispy fat, then serve with gravy and mash. A great winter dinner option!

Pork Scotch Steaks are such a versatile cut, ideal for casseroling and braising. If you don't feel like slow cooking, you can also tenderise and marinate them, then cook as you would a chicken steak or chicken thigh.

Whether you go for the steak version or a whole roasting piece - this is a great cut of pork to add to your winter repertoire!

A reminder that we are open 10am - 5pm tomorrow for the Kings Birthday public Holiday!

We're open this long weekend!

So much free range goodness to choose from in the window at Cannings Richmond 😍 ready for the long weekend!

Beef Tallow in the window at Cannings South Yarra 😍 beef tallow is fantastic for high heat cooking due to its high smoke point. This makes it a really great choice when searing steaks as you can get the pan ripping hot without worrying about burning your oil or butter!

Today is Tony’s 12th year at Cannings! I still remember the day when he walked into my Hawthorn store with all the confidence in the world and said “I’m lookin’ for a job”. Tony has seen everything this industry has to offer and has some hilarious stories of ‘the good ol days’ in the meat game. One of my favourite’s being how once upon a time, after a solid day’s work, a ‘checkout chick’ was serving him at a supermarket and said, “I smell meat!” 😂😂😂 We love ya, Tone. Thanks for so many years of great service.
