This small Pacific nation has built a reputation as the region's top beef producer, its cattle raised entirely on grass with no hormones or antibiotics.
Skewered chunks of grilled beef, seasoned simply with salt and local herbs, are a common grilled option at Port Vila's Market House and roadside barbecue stalls, the meat notably lean and tender.
Why it's made this way: Vanuatu is widely regarded as the Pacific's leading beef producer, with vast grass-fed cattle herds — the largest on Espiritu Santo — supplying both local grills and export markets in Australia and Japan.
