In the latest episode of the programme which airs every Sunday on German television, McMahon prepared Tomahawk steaks from Ireland in order to convince a jury of their culinary merits in a blind tasting.
McMahon praised the premium quality of the Irish beef saying these are “Tomahawk steaks at their finest. You can really see that Irish cattle always graze in the pastures."
McMahon moved to Germany at the age of 21 to work with various top chefs and in 2009 he opened his own restaurant "Shane's" in central Munich. He is now a household name across Germany.

He is also one of ten members of Bord Bia’s Chefs’ Irish Beef Club. The Club is an exclusive association of top international chefs, who act as ambassadors for Irish beef worldwide. These culinary leaders regularly visit Ireland to discover Irish food and learn about our sustainable food production practices.
Speaking about the programme which is broadcast on ProSieben Maxx, Donal Denvir, manager in Bord Bia Germany, said "We are delighted, though not surprised that such an outstanding chef as Shane McMahon is so convinced of the quality of Irish beef."
