When summer is this close, it’s hard not to think about opening your grill and cooking some quality meats for a family gathering. Steaks, burgers, pork chops, ribs, hotdogs…Memorial Day isn’t the same without ‘em. So, let’s brush up on our barbeque ideas for Memorial Day and see the best grilled meats for alfresco meat searing!
Best Steaks
100% grass fed tenderloin steaks from Australia. These are fed an all-natural diet of grass, ensuring a naturally lean beef that's healthy and delicious. This may not be as tender as grain-finished varieties, but they make up for it with superbly beefy texture and taste along with lower fat and cholesterol.

Grilled to medium-rare with a touch of salt and pepper, these things are barbecue heaven.

This is undoubtedly one of the finest steaks you’ll ever try: aged to perfection and exquisitely marbled with fat, an MS9 tenderloin is as tender as warm butter, and tastes unlike any other meat in the world. Offer a bite or two to your guests and they’ll know the real meaning of luxury. Please note: MS9 Wagyu beef is so incredibly rich and opulent, it can be enjoyed in much smaller portions than other steaks. Also, be careful of flare-ups during grilling!

Musky and intense boar meat presented in juicy 8 ounce patties.

This imbues their meat with a nutty-sweet flavor that marries excellently with spicy sauces and condiments. One for the country folk!

Best Ribs
Forget buying ribs at the grocery store. These juicy and marbled Berkshire Pork Loin Back ribs are on a whole other level. Made from 100% Berkshire Pork - descended from a royal herd of hogs from England - these are tender, incredibly flavorful ribs that turn "finger food" into haute-cuisine. Rub them with marinade or a good ol' fashioned bbq sauce, and grill them slowly for a rack of delicious, fall-off-the-bone pork.

Cut from the area close to the belly of the steer, these Wagyu Short Ribs are rich and generous chunks of boneless, beefy meat that's perfect by itself, but even better flavored with seasonings and marinades. We like them cooked to medium-rare, just enough to melt that marbled fat and create a crisp brown crust that marries perfectly with the tender interior. This is what barbecues were made for, people!

Sourced from New Zealand family-run farms, our Lamb 7-8 Frenched Rib Racks are smaller and milder than their American equivalents, resulting in ultra-flavorful but less gamey and intense lamb meat that's accessible to all meat-loving palates. They're well marbled with fat that melts beautifully when cooked, resulting in a tender and delicious lamb flavor. Add a touch of salt, pepper and herbs for an impressive and rich gourmet meat.

Best Sausages and Hotdogs
When you take Canadian red deer meat, blend it with blueberries and sweet Merlot wine, season it with herbs, spices and juniper berries, then pack it into a pork casing, you attain the most sophisticated and exquisite of sausages. You can enjoy them by themselves, or combine them with caramelized onions, casseroles, pastas or risottos. Either way, these will bring a touch of class to your Memorial Day barbecue.

Our duck sausages from Chateau Royal are fabulous and flavorful, with tender duck meat mixed with sweet triple sec orange liqueur, seasoned with cinnamon and other spices, before being packed into a natural hog casing. Meaty yet citrusy, savory yet sweet, grill these delightful things and pair them with chutney or sauteed onions for an amazing sausage feast.

Of course, if you prefer a good ol’ fashioned hot dog, you can’t go wrong with our Wagyu Beef Hot Dogs. These skinless dogs are crafted with 100% natural Wagyu Beef from Australia. The marbled quality of the Kobe-style beef makes these far more juicy and succulent than your average supermarket frank.

Best Pork Cuts
Berkshire "Kurobata" black hogs give us one of the juiciest and most flavorful pork meats in the world. Its superior heritage makes this a superbly flavorful meat with firm texture and glistening fat. Best of all, the large loin cut comes from the best section (the center cut), and has no bones. It can be cut into beautiful loin steaks or medallions and grilled or barbecued for an astounding treat. Try it today, and you'll never want to go back to pale, store-bought pork again.

Bold, sweet and nutty, these Wild Boar Loin Medallions are far more grillable than most wild boar meat, since they're made from native Texas feral pigs that are hormone-free and fed a natural diet. This results in deliciously tender meat that's great for grilling or barbecuing. Add a sweet fruit glaze or preserve and pair with grilled vegetables, and you're on the way to a wild yet opulent gourmet dish.
