Our 2GR Wagyu Achieves an Incredible Gold Medal trifecta at the 2025 World Steak Challenge 🥇🥩

We are proud to announce that 2GR Wagyu has been recognised with five medals at the 2025 World Steak Challenge in Amsterdam, a competition regarded as the world’s leading benchmark for steak quality. The Olympics of beef!

This achievement confirms 2GR’s position among the very best beef producers in the world and highlights the consistent excellence of our Wagyu across multiple cuts.

The World Steak Challenge is known for its tough judging process, where entries are blind tested by panels of chefs, butchers, and food industry experts. Each steak is assessed both raw and cooked for marbling, aroma, colour, tenderness, flavour, and overall consistency.

From the official 2025 medallists list, 2GR Wagyu secured an impressive three gold medals awarded for our Tenderloin Fillet (Grain Fed, Australia), Ribeye (Grain Fed, Australia), and Rib Eye (Wagyu). In addition, 2GR received a Silver for our Tenderloin (Wagyu) and a Bronze Medal for our Striploin (Wagyu).

The medals will be received on the 10th of November at the World Steak Challenge awards night in London. Our Hancock Prospecting CEO, Garry Korte, will be there in person to receive these outstanding medals.

Securing a win across such a wide range of categories is the result of years of dedication across every aspect of our operation. From carefully managed DNA tracing and genetics to specialised feeding programs, animal welfare, processing precision, and grading accuracy, each step contributes to the end result.

These medals are a testament to the leadership by our Executive Chairman, Mrs Gina Rinehart, who initiated and drives the culture, “Happy healthy cattle are the best cattle.” The combined efforts of Hancock Agriculture staff inspired by this culture, including our feedlot and livestock teams, each play a vital role in keeping 2GR Wagyu at the forefront of premium Wagyu, both globally and within the agriculture industry.

For chefs and consumers, when you want one of the world’s best steaks, choose 2GR Wagyu. You are choosing beef that has been independently tested, judged, and awarded at the highest level on the world stage.

These three international gold medals and one silver form an exciting and inspiring achievement for all at 2GR. We look forward to continuing to deliver exceptional beef to our customers in Australia and worldwide.
