First place: José Luque, Hotel Palace.

Second place: Ignacio García Camelada.

Third place: José Luis Sánchez, from La Senda de Omaña Restaurant.

The contest has been divided in two phases. In the first phase, the expert contestants have cut out a beef tenderloin provided by Grupo Norteños. The jury has scored the cutting technique, skill, dexterity and speed of the work. In the second round, the contestants have prepared a steak tartar where originality, flavor and presentation have been the most valued aspects.

A correct cut of beef is an art only available to a select few. It requires knowledge of anatomy and gastronomy that exploits the full potential of the cuts.

The members of the jury were:

• Andrés Sánchez Magro, commentator and food critic.
• Jose Gordon, El Capricho Restaurant, León.
• Pedro Larumbe, Restaurante Pedro Larumbe Restaurant.
• Astrid Sveinsdottir Matute, Owner Import Export of meat
