Stephen Edwards Business Manager UK of Meat & Livestock Australia, the custodians the Aussie Beef & Lamb brand which promotes Australian red meat in the UK said:

"Australia is in an excellent position ahead of the World Steak Challenge awards ceremony, and we'd like to wish all our producers the best of luck for the final reveal in November. We're extremely excited to see which steak comes out on top, fingers crossed it's an Aussie one.

"Of course, last year an Australian steak from producer Jack's Creek won the overall title of World's Best Steak, so here's hoping we can do it again for the second year running. 

"We know that Australian red meat is top quality and having been based here in the UK for a couple of years, we're enjoying the feedback we get from retail and foodservice professionals on the premium quality, consistency and superb taste of our red meat."

"Being recognised with the most gold medals is confirmation of that, and a reflection of the quality of steak coming from Australia, which we're delighted to be able to promote to retail buyers, chefs, restauranteurs and hospitality professionals here in the UK."
