Today, we’re proud to share a short film celebrating our 10-year journey with Benchmark Angus—one built on trust, hard work, and a shared commitment to elevating Alberta beef. What started as a partnership has grown into one of the strongest ranch–restaurant relationships anywhere.
Sourcing matters at Modern Steak…
Modern Steak doesn’t serve the best Alberta beef by accident. It happens because people like Stephen Deere of Modern Steak and Michael Munton of Benchmark Angus refuse to settle for anything less than exceptional.
Our relationship with Benchmark Angus is built on the belief that the best beef comes from staying close to home. Modern Steak works directly with the Munton family—no middlemen, no mystery—just honest, local sourcing from people we trust and respect. It’s a partnership we’re truly proud of and a big reason our beef stands apart. When you work this closely with a ranch like Benchmark, the quality speaks for itself.
That’s why they bought a bull together—because when Benchmark and Modern teamed up, the standard for Alberta beef rises for everyone. This is how award-winning steak is made: by working with the best in the world.
And now, we are proud to announce the next chapter:
Modern Benchmark Wagyu — born and raised right here in Alberta. A new program crafted to take our offering to the next level and redefine premium Canadian beef.
A decade built the foundation. The next era starts now.

All steakhouses buy beef.
We built a program.
In a world of vague sourcing and anonymous supply chains, we believed guests deserved real answers.
So we partnered with Alberta rancher Michael Munton to create Modern Benchmark—our ranch-specific Prime Grade Alberta beef program. @benchmark.angus
We know where our beef comes from.
Who raised it.
How it was finished.
We even went as far as owning our own prize-winning Black Angus bull with Benchmark Angus to help define that standard.
Because provenance isn’t marketing.
It matters.

Blue skies, sun on the rooftop, the tower in the background, and a glass of wine waiting for you. There aren’t many cities where it can feel like summer at lunch and patio season by dinner, but when we get days like this, you take advantage of them.
The rooftop at Modern Steak Stephen Avenue is open today for lunch, happy hour, dinner… and yes, it also happens to be Date Night Wednesday.
2 steaks, 2 sides, and a feature bottle of wine for $108 for two.
Grab a table while the weather’s this good.
