This meaty masterpiece is called the London Broil. Made from the Bavette (or Flap) Steak which is carved from the sirloin primal section. We hand roll this tender piece of meat around a piece of grass-fed butter so the creaminess of the butter compliments the bold, beefy flavor! That rich marbling makes it melt in your mouth like butter! Stop into Joseph’s today and treat yourself this week!

Check out this marbling!!! The hanger steak (aka the butcher's steak) is best known for its amazing flavor and tenderness., This USDA Prime cut is taken from the plate, which is the upper belly of the cattle. In the past, butchers at markets would often keep it for themselves rather than offer it for sale (good thing this isn’t the past!)

This post is especially meaningful to all of us at Joseph’s Finest Meats. We’re super thankful to have a small, family-owned neighborhood butcher shop in Chicago’s Northwest Side.

From all of us at JFM, we want to thank all of you who keep our small business going! We are truly thankful for you! ❤️

Chicago’s best old-fashioned butcher

Since 1977, Joseph's Finest Meats is Chicago's best old-fashioned neighborhood butcher shop. From our USDA Prime dry-aged steaks to our homemade Italian Beef and Sausages, Joseph's takes great pride in serving only the highest quality meats and poultry; always fresh and never treated with preservatives or food dyes. Our commitment to the art of meat cutting, sausage making and friendly, knowledgable service makes us a cut above the rest.

History

When Joseph Camarda came to Chicago from Sicily in 1952, his American dream was to open his own business. Coming from a family with a long tradition in the food industry, Joseph decided to learn the butchering trade. After years of working in the trade, Joseph was inspired to follow his vision of creating an old-fashioned butcher shop with a bit of Italian flare. Even though the meat industry was moving quickly toward the big supermarket chains, Joseph believed that people still valued high quality meats with high quality professional butchers. In 1977, Joseph risked it all and finally opened Joseph's Finest Meats. Over 4 decades later, Joseph's Finest Meats is still the place to go to in Chicago if you're looking for the best meats with real butchers behind the counter to service you.
