The hospitality group behind the award winning Moo Moo steak restaurant has taken its goal to source the best quality cuts of beef for the restaurants one step further.
The group’s Steven Adams has just purchased the Grand Champion Junior Led Steer of the 2010 Brisbane Ekka at auction which will soon be served in the restaurant.
Exhibited by St John’s College, Dubbo, NSW, the Speckle Park bred steer is a new breed to Australia. It comes from Canada and is known for its eating quality attributes, just like Wagyu and Angus, said Adams.
Judged the Grand Champion by Michael Crowley, manager of Meat Standards Australia (MSA), the steer was 470kg and fed a custom grain ration of barley and oats for 96 days.
“We saw the steer on show and immediately knew we had to have it for our Brisbane restaurant,” said Adams.
“This beef will complement our existing specialty beef menu and further enhance our customers dining experience.”
Adams said the high quality primal cuts of Scotch Fillet, OP Rib, Porterhouse, Eye Fillet, Rump and Oyster Blade will be on display in the custom made dry aging cabinet at Moo Moo Brisbane from today.
Adams said that the cuts will be dry aged on the bone for five weeks before they are served to customers to maximise flavour and tenderness.
