Butcher cut of the week:
DURHAM RANCH WAGYU BRISKET

Time to fire up the smoker, Forza fans. Whether you’re running a traditional stick burner with lump charcoal or loading up the pellet smoker for an all-day cook, Durham Ranch American Wagyu brisket is the kind of cut that reminds you exactly why low-and-slow barbecue is worth every minute.

Right now these full-blooded American Wagyu briskets are one of the best values in the butcher case. With prime briskets climbing higher every season, stepping up to Wagyu for just a little more gets you richer marbling, deeper flavor, and a noticeably shorter smoke time. That extra marbling renders faster, helping you push through the stall quicker and keep your overnight cook from turning into an all-night headache.

Translation? Throw it on in the morning and still sit down to dinner at a normal hour with a brisket that eats like something straight out of a Texas smokehouse. Tender slices, burnt ends, sandwiches the next day — this is backyard BBQ season done correctly.

Supplies are limited and these always move fast once the weather breaks in Chicagoland, so call early in the week to reserve yours before the weekend rush hits.

Don’t forget we have everything you need to cook this meat up right, from charcoal and rubs, to sides and a wide selection of adult beverages.

From our family to yours.

Butcher cut of the week: Filet Mignon

Mother’s Day weekend is almost here, and if you’ve waited until the last minute to figure out dinner for Mom, don’t panic — Forza Meats has you covered. The petit filet might sound classic, but there’s a reason Chicago families come looking for it every single first week of May. Tender, full of flavor, and easy enough for even the “I never cook” crowd to pull off without embarrassing themselves.

Whether you’re firing up the grill or using a cast iron skillet at home, a properly cut petit filet, good seasoning, and a meat thermometer go a long way. Add a simple pan sauce and suddenly you look like you knew what you were doing all along. Our butchers are hand-cutting filet steaks to order all weekend long, whether Mom wants a smaller 4-ounce cut or a massive steakhouse-style filet.

Mother’s Day meals should feel special, and nothing says “I actually planned ahead this year” quite like walking in with steaks from your local butcher shop instead of a grocery store foam tray. From our family to yours, Forza Meats in Glenview is ready for your holiday table with fresh-cut steaks, butcher shop favorites, deli sides, fresh groceries, wine, desserts, and everything else you need to pull off dinner right.

If you’ve been searching for a local butcher shop near Glenview, high-quality filet mignon in Chicagoland, fresh steaks for Mother’s Day, or a real old-school butcher counter experience, this is your reminder to stop in before the weekend rush hits.
