McDonald's UK only uses beef sourced from British and Irish unless demand is very high and then it imports from European countries such as Germany.
It is over 20 years since the company imported beef from South America. The use of growth hormones is banned under UK and EU legislation. Beef animals on McDonald's approved farms eat only a grass-based diet which might sometimes be supplemented with additional vitamins and cereals at certain times of the year when the goodness derived from grass has naturally declined. You might be interested in looking at one of the Quality Scout reports on how the animals are reared and fed; many of the Scouts asked exactly the same questions of the farmers. (April 2007)
