Curtis Stone Celebrates the Quality of Aussie Produce

The nations favourite chef puts Aussie Beef on the map with three tasty recipes

In Australia, the land with 'golden soil', we are lucky to have the best and freshest ingredients at our fingertips. And now international award-winning Chef, Curtis Stone, has shone a spotlight on our favourite local produce, including Aussie beef.

In November, the renowned chef went on a journey through Western Australia, from farms to providores and vineyards, to find the best produce Australia has to offer. One of his favourites? The greatest meat on earth – Australian beef.

The epic road trip from The Pilbara to Pinjarra, south of Perth, saw Curtis discover the best Aussie produce which will inspire new menus in his LA restaurants, learning the stories behind the beef industry from passionate local beef producers.

"My trip back on home soil was nothing short of amazing. The people and the produce inspired me to create three easy and delicious beef dishes that acknowledge and appreciate the unique Western Australian terrain, our quality Aussie produce and the celebration of summer in this beautiful country. I mean it doesn't get much better than Aussie beef on a summer's night does it?" says Curtis.
