When Bone Roasters joined forces with Meatsmith co-founder Troy Wheeler, the result was more than just recipes — it was a masterclass in butchery, stock, and flavour. Filmed in the heart of the Meatsmith kitchen, this special collaboration captures bold dishes, heritage techniques, and the unmistakable depth of Bone Roasters stocks and jus.
Troy’s approach is rooted in whole animal butchery and respect for local producers, values that have made Meatsmith one of Australia’s most iconic butcheries. His 2023 cookbook cemented his influence on the way Australians cook and understand meat. For this shoot, he walked us through premium cuts straight from the butcher’s block, explaining why he loves the product and how the right stock or jus can elevate meat from great to unforgettable.
From rich veal jus to deeply layered red wine reductions, the recipes cooked on the day show how Bone Roasters’ slow-cooked, hand-skimmed range pairs effortlessly with Meatsmith’s quality cuts. Together, they bring clarity, balance and consistency to every plate — no shortcuts, no compromise, just the real thing.
The full video captures the energy of the kitchen, Troy’s philosophy, and the recipes created during the collaboration.
