Love Beef? Travel to These Countries!

Mmm, beef. From a juicy and delicious hamburger to a freshly-grilled steak, who doesn’t love a meal including this hearty and succulent meat?

While the United States is often perceived as being the capital of beef consumption, it actually comes in at #4 on the list on a per capita basis. So, where can beef lovers travel to if they are really looking to step their beef game up? Check out these top three countries.

Uruguay

Uruguay leads the world in beef consumption, and it’s easy to see why. This small South American country has a huge cow farming industry, and social outings and get-togethers often focus on the churrasco, a big beef barbeque that is considered to be a Uruguayan cultural hallmark.

Argentina

Uruguay’s bigger neighbor, Argentina, comes in at second on the list. Argentina shares a similar pattern of bovine agriculture and the famous churrasco social tradition with Uruguay, as citizens of both countries absolutely love digging into plates of freshly-grilled beef ribs or steaks.

Hong Kong

Hong Kong might surprise you at #3 on this list, but this small island that belongs to China, but has a distinct culture and governmental system loves its beef. Beef curry and beef noodles are traditional cow-centric fare here, but you’ll also find lots of high-quality steakhouses in the city.
