Matt Roush says...
Where’s the beef? Hanging from hooks, and it’s the chefs’ job to cut these hind saddles of steer down to size in a butchery showdown that kicks off the second episode of the “high steaks” (Padma Lakshmi‘s pun) cooking competition. Meat maestro Pat LaFrieda is the guest as the chefs show their skills, speed, and precision in turning these slabs into flank steak, New York strips, filet mignons, top sirloin, and other cuts. In the elimination round, they’re challenged to take one of these portions and prepare it two ways for 100 hungry customers at the first-ever “Culinary Cup Carnivore Classic.” Do not watch this on an empty stomach.
