Samples of the world’s best steaks will be savoured in England this fall.

Countries are invited to submit two strip loins from the same animal, and the winner will be an-nounced in London Oct. 15.

Canada will not be sending a sample because of time limitations, but it has submitted information about the country’s beef industry, said Joyce Parslow of Canada Beef Inc.

“I think it is a good idea to promote global interest,” she said.

The competition is sponsored by the Meat Trades Journal. Winners will receive a gold or silver medal as the World’s Best Steak Producer 2015.

Australia, Germany, the Republic of Ireland, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, United States and Uruguay have entered.

Entrants are asked for information about their country’s beef industry, listing the breeds of cattle, statistics such as herd size and how the cattle are raised.
