Hancock Agriculture’s 2GR Wagyu Shines at the World Steak Challenge 2025 Awards

2GR Wagyu Beef has cemented its position as one of the world’s leading beef producers after taking out the World’s Best Grain Fed Fillet Award at the World Steak Challenge 2025 Awards night in London on Monday, 10 November 2025.

This latest accolade comes after 2GR won an incredible haul of three gold medals, and one silver at the World Steak Challenge 2025 judging event in Amsterdam in September. 

Gold medals were presented to Hancock Prospecting CEO, Garry Korte, at the awards night in London.

Considered to be the Olympics of beef, the World Steak Challenge offers producers from around the world the opportunity to benchmark their product quality, breed credentials and processing standards against the best of the best on the global stage. 

2GR’s achievements are a direct result of the visionary leadership of Hancock Prospecting Executive Chairman Mrs Gina Rinehart, whose commitment to animal welfare and product excellence has shaped the company’s culture and success.

Acknowledging 2GR’s award, Mrs Rinehart said: “We have always known that happy healthy cattle produce the best beef, and clearly the world’s leading steak judges agree.”

“For more than a decade, our people have shown relentless dedication to ensuring our cattle are healthy, stress-free, and cared for to the highest standards, and the results clearly speak for themselves: best in the world!”

CEO of Hancock Agriculture, Mr Adam Giles, said: “Our message to chefs and steak lovers is simple – when you want the best steaks, choose 2GR Wagyu. You are choosing beef that has been independently awarded on the world stage and comes from cattle who live in the best possible conditions.

“We are delighted and honoured to have received the World’s Best Grain Fed Fillet Award, but our pursuit of perfection will not stop, and we look forward to continuing to deliver some of the world’s best beef to our customers in Australia and across the globe.
