What Happens in Vegas Steaks in Vegas
June 16
Things were a bit corny AND crabby in the MasterKitchen last week, as the corn flew in the Elimination Test. A few went savory, a few went sweet. Justin went home. Tonight, the action is on the cooks as we take a trip... to VEGAS!

Our Team Field Challenge takes us to Drai's Beach Club on the Cromwell Hotel on Strip. Well, almost all of us. Dan had to exit from the competition for an unnamed matter. But he is okay and he's heading back to Chicago.

ROUND 2 TEAM CHALLENGE: Vegas Dinner
- Cook & serve for 101 Las Vegas entertainers
- 60 minutes to prep & cook, 60 to serve
.

Stephen & Shelly had the best dishes in the Elimination Test, so they will be Team Captains. Stephen had the best dish, so he will have a key advantage. He can either pick his team or pick his protein - live lobster or chicken tenders. He picks... the team. Shelly picks the protein: chicken

RED TEAM (Stephen; lobster): Amanda, Charlie, Jesse, Sara, Olivia, Tommy, Kerry, Nick
BLUE TEAM (Shelly; chicken): Hetal, Derrick, Claudia, Veronica, Katrina, Christopher, Ailsa

The Blue Team is looking for a saffron "remoulade".... sorry, a roulade... with mango. Are they going to make their deadline? The Reds are going with a Lobster Herb Salad with Smashed Potatoes. But can he make over 100 portions of perfect lobster?

Twenty minutes to go, and the entertainers - from Rio Chippendales to Jubilee showgirls and everyone in between - are starting to arrive. And they're all scheduled to perform this evening. So you have to get your dishes down and in time.

RED: Lobster with Roasted Vegetables & Smashed Yukon Potatoes
BLUE: ... God only knows at this point. Supposedly, it's Chicken Roulade with Saffron Butter Sauce & Roasted Potatoes

At the plating station, Tommy is in over his head. His portions are oversized & sloppy. Time to get him off of that station. Meanwhile, under Derrick's leadership, the blue plates are finally leaving the kitchen. And remember when we said that Tommy couldn't possibly mess up potatoes? Well... he messes up potatoes. And Stephen sends him to the benches.

The Reds finish their dishes with six minutes to spare, six minutes to serve 24 blue dishes. Ultimately, they were eight plates short. That's eight votes for the Red Team.

WINNERS: by a vote of 52-49... RED TEAM! Those 8 dishes were the difference.

FOUR members of the Blues will face the Pressure Test. Shelly as captain can save three people.

The next day, the Blues head to Gordon Ramsay Steak at the Paris Las Vegas.

PRESSURE TEST: Steak

Judging each of the steaks... the Big Boss. Saved from the challenge: Hetal, Veronica, and Katrina. The three cooks on the team with NOTHING TO SHOW for yesterday's challenge.

The first part of the test: you will have to cook steak to the temperature Gordon demands. Then the final two will have to do it all over again with a different cut and a different temperature.

First: New York Strip, medium rare, 20 minutes. The two closest will be safe. The secret: the sear. There's a big line of fatr that has to be rendered first to tenderize the steak. And it has to be pink in the middle.

WINNERS: Derrick & Claudia

Second: Filet Mignon, rare, 15 minutes. The most delicious steak lives to cook another day. Baste every 30 seconds. Roll it around, sear it evenly. Keep it warm, but keep it rare. And don't set fire to it... CHRIS.

One steak needed 30 seconds. One needed 30 seconds less.

ELIMINATED: AILSA

Next week, breakfast... followed by just desserts.
