BRITISH BLUES – Tastiest Beef Steaks at Royal Welsh

British Blues dominated the Asda/ABP Beeflink steak competition to find the tastiest beef steaks in Wales.

A cut from a 16-month-old British Blue-sired heifer, supplied by Welshpool farmer Paul Andrews, won the top accolade in the season’s final of the steak competition at the Royal Welsh Show.

Celebrity chef Ainsley Harriot and a taste panel from the crowd gave the thumbs up to the steak, which came from a 338kg carcass consigned to ABP’s Shrewsbury abattoir. The heifer graded U+3 after a daily deadweight gain of 0.68kg.

Taking second spot was a steak from Carl Thomas, Trelystan, Welshpool. This one also came from the British Blue cross heifer which had a carcass weight of 386kg and graded U+3.

In third spot was a steak from a Charolais cross heifer from Rob Pugh, who produced a 24-month-old heifer with a carcass weight of 345.8kg and a grade of U3.

Asda’s senior meat trader Jim Viggars said: “Nowhere has the quality been higher than here at the Royal Welsh.”
