Aussie steak crowned world's best
An Aussie steak has been crowned the world's best, not only winning the title but also sweeping the award categories at the World Steak Challenge in London.
Jack's Creek, a family-owned beef producer based primarily in Willow Tree, NSW, took out a whopping 17 medals in the global competition, in addition to 10 gold medals.
Among these was the top gong of World's Best Steak – which they have won for the fourth time in 10 years, and the second year in a row for their Purebred Wagyu Sirloin.

The company earned silver medals in Ribeye and Sirloin categories and bronze in Ribeye and Fillet, and were also awarded the World's Best Grain-Fed Sirloin, Oceania's Best Steak, World's Best Wagyu, among others.
The company's steak was judged rigorously on every feature you could think of, including appearance, marbling, fat trim, aroma, flavour, tenderness, and texture.
Jack's Creek Managing Director, Patrick Warmoll commented on the win, saying, "These awards are a testament to the decades of hard work and passion behind Jack's Creek.
"Since the 1980s, the Warmoll family has been focused on raising premium Black Angus cattle, and in the 1990s, we introduced Tajima Wagyu sires to our breeding program.
"This rich history and ongoing commitment to improvement have allowed us to remain at the forefront of the global beef industry."
Their winning Purebred Wagyu Sirloin has been produced all over Australia – the meat came from a steer bred on their farm in Willow Tree, which was then backgrounded on their property in Gunnedah NSW, finished in Millmerran, Queensland, and processed in Casino, NSW, to be distributed to over 30 countries worldwide.

"Australia's beef sector continues to lead the world in quality, with advances in animal nutrition, breeding, and processing," Warmoll continued.
"Our success is part of a broader trend, as evidenced by the number of gold medals awarded to Australian producers this year."
