Does your Steak make the cut?

Launched in 2015 to deliver a recognised stamp of quality to support world-class steak production on a global platform, World Steak Challenge gives steak producers from across the world a unique opportunity to benchmark product quality, breed credentials and processing standards on the international stage.

After eight successful years and with 25 steak-producing countries having participated, we're continuing on our mission to hunt down the best beef steak producers and reward the world’s best steaks. Whether your steaks are grass or grain fed, we want to hear from beef producers, cattle farmers and ranchers, beef processors, steak brands and beef wholesalers.

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 533 million opportunities to see via print & online press coverage in 2022!

Judging Information

Awards Medals

All qualifying steaks from each category will be awarded a Gold, Silver or Bronze medal. Winners can utilise these medals on product packaging and marketing efforts, aligning their produce with an internationally recognised accreditation scheme that symbolises quality.

All Gold medal-winning steaks automatically qualify for our international categories, where we announce the best steak from Asia, Europe, North America, Oceania and South America. We will also reveal who will receive the coveted award of The World's Best Steak.


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.

“The World Steak Challenge is the only event of it’s kind in the world. We import products that – from a quality and value point of view – are very far off the standard. We are delighted to finally have with the WSC a neutral platform of comparison that makes it possible to see where our quality is positioned on a global scale”.

Frank Albers Albers GmbH

“The World Steak Challenge is a wonderful and exciting way to test your beef quality. Gold & silver awards have been a great achievement for NOVILLO REAL beef from Uruguay and is a crown on the long-time performance of our beef in international foodservice and retail markets”

“The recognition and award we received in this competition is a major opportunity for our country, putting Romania on the map of quality producers and internationally promoting the Angus brand from Transylvania – meat produced in Europe for Europe. This success is indeed extremely valuable for us as a producer as well as for our country and the domestic production of a top product. “

Samuel Widmer Karpaten Meat Group

"In such a short time it has turned out to be the biggest and most recognised contest worldwide in terms of finding the best beef in the world”
