Bringing the Heat with Johnny Mo
& Canadian Angus
By Tino Suddes, Canadian Angus Association Video Archivist Intern
In October 2020 we released the first video in our Bringing
the Heat cooking series, a collaboration with Canadian curlers Team Kevin Koe. Skip Kevin Koe formed the team in 2006, and is joined by current team members B.J. Neufeld, John Morris, and Ben Hebert, playing third, second, and lead respectively. Beef plays a vital nutritional role for athletes: it’s a great source of complete protein, iron and zinc, all necessary nutrients in maintaining a healthy diet. Nutritional value combined with John’s cooking experience make the partnership between the team and Canada’s number one beef breed a great fit.

The tomahawk steak, provided by Lethbridge-based Benchmark Angus, was selected as the first cut to feature in the series. Benchmark Angus participates in the Canadian Angus Rancher Endorsed program, an initiative created to assure consumers that beef labelled as Canadian Angus has been verified to contain minimum 50% Angus genetics. The tomahawk is a cut that you won’t typically find in local 226
