Homestead Meats - Evanston

The best butcher. Almost everything we buy , meat wise is here.

Wow just had a lovely dinner. Went in to get a ribeye and walked out with a shoulder “bistro” cut after a helpful conversation with the butcher. Just blows away a flat iron, skirt, or flank. Very peculiar, relatively inexpensive, but apparently labor intensive cut tender, but beefy, minerally beefy not beefy beefy. Just lovely. Did in pan because it was raining, and I’m glad I did so because the sauce was great.

Homestead meats is not just a regular butcher shop, this is an artisan shop to go if you need excellent quality meat but also great selection of charcuterie, including fabulous cold meats and cheeses. You will find there all Italian and French style classics like bresaola, prosciutto, pâté and many more. Highly recommended! ?

I was told they get all meats from specific LOCAL farms. I contacted the farms. Each and every farm told me by call or email They DID NOT PROVIDE MEAT to HOMESTEAD MEATS
