Hormone-free, pesticide-free, antibiotic-free and chemical-free, Vanuatu’s beef is definitely not taste-free. Everywhere you go in the islands, you will find local steaks at prices to make a Sydney restaurateur weep. The French introduced their super-premium Charolais cows to the then New Hebrides and much of the cattle remains this breed, despite the British introduction of Hereford and Brahmans from Australia in the early twentieth century. Cooked simply, the taste of the lush green grass and carefree life the cows enjoy transfers to the plate.
