Steakhouses & butchers in New Zealand
Most New Zealand beef is grass-fed on pasture all year round, and the country exports most of what it produces. Auckland has waterfront steakhouses and neighbourhood butchers selling grass-fed and wagyu-cross beef.
Beef to know
Buying beef in New Zealand
Grass-fed
Most New Zealand cattle graze outdoors year-round, so grass-fed is the norm rather than a premium label.
Cut names
Ribeye is often sold as scotch fillet and tenderloin as eye fillet.
Wagyu
Several New Zealand farms raise wagyu-cross beef, and menus usually name the farm.
