Man downs 3.3lbs of steak in five minutes to be crowned champion

A charity worker was left dripping in 'blood' after demolishing a kilo and a half of rump steak in five minutes to win an eating competition - the equivalent of 12 quarter pounder burgers. Max Stanford, aka Max vs Food, picked the 50oz medium-rare slab of meat up with his bare hands and voraciously chomped his way to victory in just four minutes and 50 seconds.

The 35-year-old tackled the meaty feat on February 4, easily out-scoffing other competitors with Tunny vs Food completing it in 10 minutes - more than double Max's time. While joint third place went to Kyle V Food and Food and the Beast who were unable to finish it, managing approximately 30oz each.

Max polished off the 2,485-calorie monster morsel, containing just shy of the recommended daily calorie intake of 2,500 calories for men, at The George Pub & Grill in Stockton-on-Tees.
