Beef, Steaks and minced beef

[Gonsalviz]

Lotus has dried up what little you could find there. I am trying to source someplace to buy decent steaks in beef in Udon. Not interested in rump, round or shanks. Ribeye, tenderloin or strip loin called New York Strip where I am from.

When I was able to shop at Foodland, the 'Pen Fed' beef was good enough for me. I did a search and the latest thread was from 2005 or 2010

American beef (my preference) is way over priced. Next in line is Kiwi beef but I'll take Aussie beef too. Local pen fed is fine too. Anything is better than the supposed beef I got from Makro. I'd feel bad feeding that to dogs.

I heard about the Thai-French beef place moving and being low on stock. Are they still in business? Where are they now? Would they order some for me? Are there alternative choices?

Thanks for informed help.

The Thai-French beef is still operating out of Sakon Nakon .I drive up there occasionally to stock up on edible steaks. It would be hard to find with out some one showing the way but it is about 10 miles short of Sakon on the Mukdahan road.

Consider Western Wholesale Meat Company (WWMCo) in Jomtien.

http://www.wwmco.asia/

Last April, I ordered 500g (18 oz) Ribeye steaks and 600g (21 oz) T-Bone steaks from their web site. The meat was very tender.

The order was sent via bus in a cooler with dry ice and arrived on the day I asked for it to arrive.

I also ordered their Gammon (Ham) from the cooked meat section along with 350g Pork chops and 300g Pork steaks....... awesome.

I will order from them again.

I need a translation. Does that mean it is 10 miles (16 km) east of Sakon Nakon on hiway 223? Near Khok Si Suphan District?

Sound like a good idea. Where are you located?

I am in BFE Nong Bua Lamphu near Loei. I have ordered stuff from BKK before and got it the next day. I am sure it was sent in the morning or came over night. Just wondering how logistics would work for me.

They sent on the night bus, sent me a text on the arrival time and which bus company. Showed up at the bus station and I put the order in the car and went home and started BBQ'ing!

One other question. If I order 10 steaks, are they in one package frozen together, individually packaged or what? I will only eat one at a time as my wife doesn't eat beef at least until she knows what good beef tastes like.

Also burgers, if you know?

Try the Thai French Butcher online. I thought I had their web site book marked but can't find it.

Their proper name is Pon-Yang-Khram Livestock and Breeding Cooperative.

Their beef is worth the drive in my opinion

Good Luck

I am guessing Wang Saphung or Loei would be best for me. Nong Bua Lamphu might be a possibility. Thanks.

Went to Chern Chim in Udon today. Burgers were 140/kilo.

Striploins 435/kilo

Gammon ham steaks 190/kilo.

Forgive me if the prices are not exact but I know they are close.

I bought a bunch of beef. 20 120 gm burgers

a whole striploin.

4 striploins

4 gammon steaks

4 waygu sandwich steaks

4 waygu steaks

Just under 6000 Baht.

They have a lot and will custom order, cut, package and freeze for you. Just call and they will tell you when to pick up. Forgot to ask if they ship but I am sure they will. Tasmanian Black Angus.

If it is good, The Aussie running the place says thee beef is excellent, I will be going back.

[Issangeorge]

Go to Mukdahan and then take highway 12 to Kalasin on the left hand side about 50 to 60 kilometers west across from a petroleum station is Nongsung. Meats copied after Thai French Meats and just as good if not better. A fair bit closer to you.

Yes that is correct. Highway 223 and about one km west of Khok Si Suphan. But it seems you may have a good supplier already, I may try them out also.

Nothing wrong with local beef if you know what you are buying etc.

Remember, the steaks from Western Wholesale Meat Co, Acorn etc are Thai beef. But, they know where to buy to ensure that it has been aged.

When I had a restaurant I bought many steaks from WWMCo and at the time I was paying around 450 Baht/kg from memory. The missus was also buying beef tenderloin in the local market at 150 Baht/kg and with a bit of culling and tenderising they produced pretty decent steaks.

What hassle...... the only hassle is for WWMCo, they have to package and ship the order. I just need to stop and pick it up while going to Big C to do my normal shopping!

Oh, I too use Google when I need to.

[puchooay]

The irony of your last comment, DiabloBob, is that the BuriramPieMan now has an outlet only about 4kms from BigC.

I've gotten beef from both places.....Nong Sung beef is far and away better than that supplied in Sakon Nakon. Highly doubtful that they will ship it, however, if you need to travel to Muk or points East, it's worth a stop on the way home.
