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.
