Last week, we turned the humble peanut
butter & jelly into haute cuisine... and yet Sara couldn't cut it with
either. Tonight, though, it's cows, cows, and more cows for the top 10
in the Field Challenge. We meet our team down on a dude ranch 70 miles north of the MasterChef kitchen. The "steaks" have never been higher. TEAM CHALLENGE: Steak - Feed 101 cowboys steak dishes with two sides & one sauce - 60 minutes to prep We're doing a reverse schoolyard pick. RED TEAM (Hetal): Shelly, Olivia, Christopher, Stephen BLUE TEAM (Katrina): Claudia, Tommy, Nick, Derek So the vegetarian and the pescatarian are on the same team. Let that sink in, meanwhile, we have a New York strip and a hanger steak. Hetal will choose which cut she wants to use. Hetal chooses .... the HANGER STEAK. Katrina has the meat eaters, the familiar cut, and the experience. I think we may have a foregone conclusion here. RED TEAM: Hanger Steak with Chimichurri Sauce with Warmed Potato Salad & Grilled Vegetables BLUE TEAM: New York Strip with Beef Demi-Glace with Sweet Potato Mash & Green Beans Just to point out: Shelly wanted to use a barbecue sauce, and the vegetables.... well, that's a bad idea for COWBOYS. So you may need to rethink your whole strategy. They decided to just go with it, but make it a little manly. Meanwhile, Gordon's not exactly keen on the sides, so how about adding a little heat, cayenne and small paprika. They've also changed their demi-glace into a red pepper sauce. Five minutes until plating... and the Reds' zucchini is not hot at all. CHOW TIME! And after the steak sizzle settles... The winner.. by a score of 75-26... BLUE TEAM! ROUND 5 PRESSURE TEST: Fruit Tart - Everyone has the same ingredients and a limited fruit pantry. - 90 minutes to bake a fruit tart. One of the teammates will be safe... and the Blue Team will decide which one. They pick... OLIVIA. It starts with a perfectly baked tart shell. The pastry cream needs to hold its shape when it's slice. The fruit needs to look like gems atop the custard, and the glaze needs to make the fruit pop. - STEPHEN: Blueberry Tart with Apricot Glaze. Cracked tart. Loose cream. Flavor's there. - SHELLY: Berry Tart. Cream's a little loose. The shell is a little under. But good job. - CHRISTOPHER: Strawberry, Blueberry, Mint & Lemon Tart. Pastry is crunch. Cream is loose. Tastes good. - HETAL: Berry Tart with Raspberry Jam & Chocolate. Crust shrunk. Flavor comes through. No one nailed it perfectly... but Shelly and Hetal live to cook another day. ELIMINATED: .... ... ... in a shock, NO ONE! It was THAT CLOSE in terms of highs and lows. But that means that the decisions are going to be that much harder. Next week, it's MasterChef Family Style.
