Breaking down exactly which beef cuts work best for each one and why, and the techniques that transform tough cuts into melt-in-your-mouth masterpieces. We'll be judging on flavour, texture, and how difficult they are to cook. Whether you're team Mexico, Indonesia, or France, the winner? Your dinner table!
