Steak of Origin entries close next month
Entries for the Steak of Origin challenge close on February 19.
After winning in 2007 and taking the Producer of the Decade title in 2012, the Te Kopuru couple have now taken out the 2013 grand prize with their Angus/Jersey beef sirloin entry.
The competition to find the country's most tender and tasty steak, sponsored by Zoetis, culminated in the Grand Final at the Beef Expo in Feilding.
The 20 finalists were tasted by a panel of judges, comprising three leading chefs. Head judge and chef Graham Hawkes says the quality of the steak on show was exceptional.
"The standard never ceases to amaze me, the finalist steaks were all tender and succulent, choosing a winner was certainly no easy task," says Hawkes.
