From all over the world steak producers, cattle farmers and ranchers, beef processors, steak brands and beef wholesalers represented their country and took part on this global competition.
This year it was all about the sirloin steak – also known in some countries as the striploin. Each loin per individual steak entry, was cut on-site by a butcher into the correct thickness of steak for the judging process. The technical testing covered two areas, raw and cooked. The live judging took place in London, Hyde Park.
