With all the fuss over US beef in S.Korean supermarkets. I wanted your honest and humble opinions on where you've had your best beef experience.
Steaks, roasts, mince...doesn't matter....
More for the well-travelled, well-eaten types on this forum than an excuse to chest beat...
I hear that the South Americans specfically the Argies and the Brazilians do a mean BBQ.
I haven't had US beef but I plan on changing that reeeaaaal quick. Had an Australian Rockhampton Rib Eye at the Outback yesterday and I must say it was a tender juicy beauty....
Beef.....OOOOhhhhh yeeeehhhh!!!

Argentinian or South African. Great beef from both countries, and South Africa has the best lamb in the world for sure.
Although, as a Newfie, I do love our duck. Proper.
yes |

Never been to Canada then I take it? Tender yet slender, rare but bare, niced when sliced.
Go Leafs!!! |

| I've had Brazilian beef and it's overrated. Canadian beef is so-so (I grew up in Alberta). US beef is nothing special. Best I ever had was Australian. Nothing else come close. |

The problem with most american beef is that it is basically factory raised. Grass fed beef tastes better, and does not raise your cholesterol. The cows like it better, too!  |

I'd like to know where people come up with this "U.S. beef is factory raised" crap. I suspect it has more to do with some kind of anti-American sentiment than actual reality because, after living in a state that raises a fair amount of cattle and after driving across the country multiple times, I can honestly say that you'll see cows wandering the countryside everywhere you go.
Edit: I don't doubt that there is a certain percentage of cows that may be "factory raised" but I honestly wonder why people place that label solely on American beef, which comes from a large country with plentiful amounts of grassland, instead of, say, Korean beef, which comes from an overpopulated country that is 70% mountainous. Which country do you think has more room to raise grass-fed cattle? |

| Kinda off topic, but what about Korean pork? I heard that in the countryside, they raise pigs in ditches that are covered and people take a dump in the ditch and the pig eats it. Several Koreans have told me this and they say the pork is much tastier this way. |

It's a silly question. It's a bit like handing someone who likes Coke a bottle of Coke and Pepsi and asking "what cola is the best?"
If anyone can find a blind taste test of beef from various nations, I'd love to read it. |

I was hoping someone might note this. OP invites nationalists (and ant-nationalists, in some cases) to wave their flags (and disdain others).
I have had excellent, good, mediocre, unsatisfactory, and terrible steak all over the world. And I have yet to dine with a partner who could tell me, from taste or "quality" alone, "this is Uruguyan beef, while that is Australian..."

| I thought Kobe beef was considered the best in the world, but I haven't tried it. Is it moderately priced in Korea? |

My neighbor from Alberta swears Alberta beef is the best beef in the world and that nothing even comes close.
In my opinion, I think US Black Angus is the best beef. |

I also thought Kobe.
I heard Lotte Mart has some good beef with special toppings on it a couple weeks ago. |
