All Ways to Eat & Cook Alberta Beef

Alberta influencers are showcasing Alberta beef in new and interesting dishes.

All Ways Alberta Beef is rooted in showcasing the tradition, pride, quality, and versatility of Alberta Beef. From all the ways producers show steadfast dedication to their work to the ways a chef passionately prepares this essential ingredient and to the ways we enjoy it, there’s ritual and tradition in every bite of Alberta Beef.

Focusing on how we cook and eat Alberta Beef, we have been working with local influencers over the past few months to showcase non-traditional recipes that feature beef as well as showcasing local restaurants that proudly serve it.

Following is a collection of posts by our pattern influences from October 2023. Take inspiration and try some new recipes and dishes this season.


I will be warming up this season with a new beef favourite recipe – gyudon. Gyudon is a popular Japanese dish known for its simplicity, comforting, and delicious flavours. The name “Gyudon” is a combination of two Japanese words: “gyu” meaning beef and “don” referring to a bowl of rice.

Gyudon (Japanese Beef Rice Bowl)

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 pound (450g) thinly sliced beef
  • 2 tablespoons mirin
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup dashi stock
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil
  • 2 cups cooked short-grain white rice
  • Optional toppings: sliced green onions, pickled ginger and onsen egg / egg yolk

Instructions:

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a large pan over medium heat.
  2. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook for about 5 minutes or until they soften and start to caramelize.
  3. Stir in the mirin, sugar, soy sauce, oyster sauce, dashi stock and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil.
  4. Add the thinly sliced beef to the pan and cook until it changes colour and is no longer pink. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Simmer the mixture for a few more minutes until thesauce thickens slightly.
  6. Serve the Gyudon over a bowl of cooked rice.
  7. Garnish with sliced green onions, pickled red ginger and an onsen egg if desired.

I’ve partnered with Alberta Beef Producers @loveabbeef to showcase three restaurants in Edmonton that offer nutritious, high-quality Alberta beef.

My first stop was Pampa Brazilian steakhouse @eatpampa. The rodizo is $64.95 per person, which seems pricey, but you definitely get quality meat (including AAA Alberta beef) despite it being AYCE.

The picanha, which is the rump cut of beef, was so juicy and cooked perfectly tender with the flavourful outer fat cap. Even a born and raised Brazilian highly approved and could not get enough!

I also highly enjoyed their petit tender beef garlic steak. It seemed well done but was anything but rubbery and I’m a huge garlic fan so heck yeah.

Of course, don’t skip out on the Brazilian cheese bread. I somehow can inhale 10 of these and still want
more. The caramelized pineapple is also great to keep the appetite going and refreshed!


Alberta beef is known for its rich taste and consistent quality. Thanks to our climate and strict industry
standards, we produce some of the best beef in the world! I was invited by @loveabbeef to visit a few
local restaurants that proudly serve Alberta beef.

My first pick was @eatpampa – a one-of-a-kind Brazilian steakhouse that offers a rodizio experience. An endless parade of servers take turns coming to the table with 13 different cuts of meat, and there’s also a salad bar with hot sides. This is an all-you-can-eat experience with unlimited servings of AAA Alberta beef!

My favourite was the pampa picanha signature cut, perfectly cooked and seasoned with coarse sea salt.

Where is your favourite place to get Alberta beef? Do you prefer dining out or cooking your own steak at home?


Night out @thenashyyc! I have partnered with @loveabbeef over the next few months to showcase some of the best restaurants around the city that have our high-quality, delicious and nutritious Alberta beef!

First stop is @thenashyyc, they have everything made in house with many ingredients sourced from local producers. With rotating seasonal specials, friendly & quick service you’ll always enjoy a nice night out at The Nash!
