The prestigious title of 2010 Steak of Origin Grand Champion is now up for grabs. Entries close 12th March
There are five classes available for farmers, wholesalers, foodservice and retailers to enter. With a total of $11,000 up for the taking, as well as the bragging rights of being named the Steak of Origin Grand Champ, there are no excuses not to enter.
The sirloins will go through rigorous testing to decide the winner. Analysis begins at Carne Technologies where they are measured for marbling, pH and cooking loss percentage. Semi-finalists are then confirmed by a tenderometer, a mechanical ‘tooth’ that bites down on the steak to determine its tenderness. A tasting panel in Christchurch will then sample the top third of entries to decide the finalists.
The last hurdle is the final held at the Beef Expo held in Feilding on 18 May. Here the finalists are tasted by a group of chefs and celebrities to ultimately decide the winner.
For more information or an entry form, contact Fiona Greig from Beef + Lamb New Zealand on (09) 489 0877 or email fionag@beeflambnz.co.nz. Entry forms can be downloaded on the competition page of www.beeflambnz.co.nz.
