Welcome to the World Steak Challenge 2024. Since we launched in 2015, we have set out to deliver a recognised stamp of quality to support world-class steak production on a global platform. The World Steak Challenge gives steak producers from across the world a unique opportunity to benchmark product quality, breed credentials and processing standards on an international stage.

A total of 333 medals have been awarded at this year’s World Steak Challenge, which recognises the best quality meat across the globe. The full list can be found here. Of the total, 112 were gold medals, 117 steaks were given silver medals and 104 steaks bronze medals following an extensive judging process held earlier this month in Amsterdam. Australia took home the most gold medals, with 21 steaks from the country awarded the accolade, the most awarded to any country, with Ireland having the great medal haul with 62 steaks awarded either a gold, silver or bronze award.

Securing a medal in the prestigious World Steak Challenge is a great opportunity to raise the profile of your business and open the door to new customers and opportunities. The World Steak Challenge generated over 1.2 billion opportunities to see via print & online press coverage in 2023!

Judging Integrity

The World Steak Challenge prides itself on offering an independent, robust and fair judging process from start to finish. Integrity is at the heart of everything we do. Every steak is judged on its own merits against the internationally agreed judging criteria.

Stage One – Technical judging

All steaks are scored blindly on raw and cooked criteria by our expert panel of judges.

Stage Two – Scoring

All scores are totalled and the winners are verified by our judging panel.

Independent

The judging is independent and monitored at every stage. Every steak is judged on its own merits against the internationally agreed judging criteria.

Results

All steaks have the chance to win a gold, silver or bronze medal. The top-scoring steak will receive the coveted award of The World's Best Steak.
