Now in its 8th year, the competition showcases the top steak producers and suppliers from around the world, all competing in the three categories of fillet, rib eye and sirloin. With more entries than ever before from 20 different countries worldwide, the ‘steaks’ are high for this year’s challenge.

This year’s Challenge is taking place in conjunction with the official host partner, Bord Bia, the equipment partner Synergy Grill Technology and the judging partner FIRE Steakhouse. The World Steak Challenge is judged blind by a panel of over 60 independent experts.

Ellie Knight, World Steak Challenge head of events, said: “We are excited to be back in Dublin for the third time to host the World Steak Challenge. Last year was a record-breaker but with more entries than ever already this year we are expecting big things. With over 20 countries involved, it truly is a global event to highlight the quality of steak on an international scale.”
