World burger giant McDonald's has given the New Zealand meat industry a boost with a deal to buy an extra 500,000kg of angus beef for two new premium burgers.

The contract is estimated to be worth at least an extra $5 million to the industry.

The meat will be used in angus burgers in the United States, Canada and Australia, as well as in New Zealand, where they will sell for $7.20.

In North America, the grass-fed New Zealand angus meat will be mixed with grain-fed American angus.

Angus is noted for a fine texture and slight marbling that gives it a special flavour, and has been a four-year winner in the Steak of Origin taste contest.

McDonald's is New Zealand's biggest beef buyer and the angus deal will lift its annual purchase to 25.2 million kilograms, 20 million of which goes overseas
