Tomorrow is Labor Day and you know what that means – it’s time for chilling and grilling. For the best meat selection in the Region, visit the Grilling Headquarters at your local Strack & Van Til store.

The Strack & Van Til Meat Department has everything you need to fire up the grill and get cooking. Who can resist sizzling steaks, thick juicy hamburgers or flavorful sausage?

Treat yourself to Certified Angus Beef® brand T-bone steak on the grill. The best beef in the Midwest, each cut is a taste of the heartland: rich, meaty, succulent and delicious.

Only the best cuts can earn the name Certified Angus Beef. They must meet stringent quality standards, including abundant marbling, appearance and tenderness. This ensures that every bite is incredibly tender, naturally juicy and exceptionally flavorful.

“Bring out your steak’s flavor and highlight its tenderness by lightly brushing the steak with olive oil, then sprinkling with Kosher salt and cracked pepper,” said Meat Department Director Gary Teachman. “Bring it to room temperature for an hour or two and grill until it’s done to perfection.”

Certified Angus Beef brand T-bone steak is on sale for $5.99 a pound through Sept. 8.

Are you a burger buff? Region grill masters agree that Pub Burgers, made fresh daily in the Strack & Van Til Meat Department, are the ultimate thick and juicy restaurant-quality burgers to sink your teeth into.

Pair one with a pretzel bun and a variety of toppings, and you’ve got the perfect star for your delicious summer barbecue. Start with a mouth-watering 50/50 Pub Burger, a blend of high-quality Certified Angus Beef boneless chuck roast and Certified Angus Beef brisket, ground twice together and made into a half-pound burger.

“It’s sure to be the best burger you’ve ever eaten,” said Teachman.

Savor the delicious, meaty flavor and choose from several varieties. Indulge in the Cheddar Bacon burger, made with Wisconsin cubed cheddar cheese and smoky bacon. For a kick, try the Pepper Jack Bacon burger. Dig into a gooey Swiss and Mushroom burger or Cheddar burger and top them with grilled onions for a mouth-watering treat.
