Welcome to the 2025 World Steak Challenge

Welcome to the 11th edition of the World Steak Challenge. 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.

After ten successful years and with over 25 steak-producing countries having participated, we're continuing to evolve the challenge to better reflect the industry. With the introduction of grass and grain-fed winners in 2024 for the fillet, sirloin and ribeye categories, plus the two company awards in the form of the small and large producer awards, there is even more opportunity for your business to be recognised on a global platform.

Winning 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. The World Steak Challenge generated over 1.2 billion opportunities to see via print & online press coverage in 2023, find out more about why you should enter this year's awards here.

So are you up for the challenge? Enter your best fillet, ribeye, sirloin or wagyu steak now and be in with the chance of being crowned the World’s Best Steak!
