The stewed beef with potato had just been made overseas, and the cubes of dark brown beef had already been cooked to a crisp, but they were still in their cubes. The golden potatoes had also been sliced into cubes, and they were wrapped in a layer of thick golden broth. A rich aroma wafted through the air, and the eyes of all five of the judges immediately lit up.
"It looks like it's going to be delicious. I really want to know what beef tastes like when it's cooked like this."
"There's no doubt about Head Chef Beate's culinary skills. Just this aroma alone is enough to tell that this is going to be a must-order dish of Ducas Restaurant."
"I'm going to try out this dish at Ducas Restaurant tomorrow. I wonder if the restaurant will release a new dish right away."
All of the guests craned their necks to look on. Many of them were regular customers of Ducas Restaurant, and the exorbitant price of this dish was nothing to them.
"The aroma of the beef has been perfectly preserved, and it has become even richer after cooking. This is the first time that I've seen beef and potatoes being stewed together. I wonder what kind of surprise Head Chef Beate will bring me. "Michael was the first to pick up his chopsticks, and he picked up a piece of potato and took a bite.
The fragrant beef broth wrapped around the soft potato, and the more he chewed, the more fragrant it became. The potato was given a completely new texture and taste, and his eyes immediately lit up.
He then picked up a piece of beef, and it was so soft that he almost couldn't pick it up. It melted in his mouth, and it was extremely delicious. The freshness of the beef had been perfectly preserved, and what was even more special was the rich aroma of the wine. The faint fragrance of the bamboo was perfectly absorbed by the beef, and the beef slid down his throat. It was delicious and refreshing, and the fragrance of the bamboo wine still lingered in his mouth.
"The beef is soft and refreshing, and the aroma of the bamboo wine has seeped into the beef perfectly. The freshness of the beef and the aroma of the wine are both present in my mouth at the same time. This taste is very good!" Michael nodded with satisfaction before picking up another piece of beef and placing it into his mouth.
Michael's evaluation created a small stir among the guests. It was a joyous occasion to be praised by the city lord, and most of them turned to look at the other judges.
A trace of a smile appeared on Beate's face. He was used to hearing such praises every day, but when it came from the mouth of the City Lord, it felt a little different.
Beate looked up at Meg, who was still earnestly frying his steak, and his expression had completely relaxed. Meg's method of cooking beef was indeed very special, and at the very least, he had never seen it before. This meant that he wasn't lying, and this was indeed a new dish that he had only recently thought of.
However, without marinating it for a long time, how could a whole piece of steak be delicious? It wouldn't even be able to infuse the flavor into the steak.
Geoffrey picked up a small piece of beef with his chopsticks and chewed it. His expression did not change as he nodded slightly. "Yes, not bad."
"As expected of the head chef of Ducas Restaurant, Head Chef Beate; this is the first time I've ever tasted such delicious beef. Even in Rodu, there are very few head chefs as good as you." Cayrols took a bite of the beef and praised Beate. He then thought to himself, His Majesty is going to celebrate his 60th birthday in a few days, and His Highness Josh has always been looking for something that can make His Majesty happy. Perhaps I can get Beate to go to Rodu and cook a delicious meal for His Majesty …
"The flavor of the beef has been masked by the aroma of the wine, so it is indeed very special. Compared to the other dishes in Ducas Restaurant, this dish definitely ranks in the top three." Hill put down his chopsticks and wiped his lips with a silk handkerchief as he nodded.
Meanwhile, Camilla only took a small bite of the beef before putting down her chopsticks. Her brows furrowed with displeasure as she said, "It's not like it doesn't have teeth, so why did he make the beef so soft? Also, is there bamboo in the wine? The flavor is simply indescribable. "
"Even the president, who has always been strict, said that it's not bad; looks like there's no doubt about Head Chef Beate's victory today."
"That's true; I've already foreseen this outcome."
"Looks like Countess Bartoli doesn't like bamboo wine, but even if she doesn't like it, Head Chef Beate will still emerge victorious with four votes against one."
"That's not necessarily the case. Perhaps Countess Bartoli will find Head Chef Beate's beef even more delicious after tasting the entire piece of beef cooked by that guy."
After tasting the beef, the five judges gave their own evaluations, and a heated discussion erupted among the guests. In the eyes of many people, there was no doubt that Beate was going to emerge victorious.
"There really is no doubt about the outcome at all." Spatch took a sip of the wine in his hand and murmured to himself with a smile on his face. In the food and beverage industry of Chaos City, he was the absolute authority.
"I'm done as well."
Right at this moment, Meg's voice suddenly sounded.
Everyone immediately turned to Meg to find that there were six plates in front of Meg, who had just put down his frying pan. There was a piece of beef on each plate, as well as colorful peppers and spinach, and a thick grey sauce that had been poured over the beef, creating a spectacular sight to behold.
"This aroma is so special! Did he put some kind of special spice in it? "
"I also smell it. If I'm not mistaken, this is most likely the aroma of black pepper!"
"Black pepper? Isn't that the condiment known as black gold? "
"Even gold isn't as expensive as black pepper. My chef managed to get his hands on some last time, and it cost him 10 dragon coins. However, that delicious flavor really is worth that price."
The aroma of black pepper wafted through the air, and some of the people who had tasted black pepper in the past quickly identified this unique aroma.
"Black pepper?" Beate looked at the steak in front of Meg with a surprised expression, and his brows furrowed slightly as he said, "I've never heard of black pepper being used to cook beef. Only when making roast pigs would they use a little bit of black pepper to enhance the flavor. Where did he get this black pepper?"
"Please give this to Mrs. Bartoli, and the other four to the other four judges, with knives and forks." Meg pulled out one of the four portions and handed it to a waiter. He then picked up the last portion of steak, and pointed at Amy as he said, "After that, please give me a knife and fork, and give this portion to that little girl over there."
Many people turned to Amy, who was standing beside Luna, and they couldn't help but think to themselves, He didn't forget to make a portion for his woman in the midst of a competition; he really is a good father!
"Wow, Father made a portion for me as well!" Amy's eyes immediately lit up at the sight of the waiter who was making his way over to her with a plate.
"This is a steak, and the way to eat it is to use a knife to slice the steak into small pieces, then dip a fork into the sauce before eating." Meg smiled at the judges, who had already placed their plates of steak on the table.
"He's using such good red wine to cook beef? What a waste!" Camilla took a glance at Meg before picking up her knife and fork in a nonchalant manner. She then sliced open a corner of the steak before placing it into her mouth.
"This flavor!" Camilla's eyes immediately widened.
"Rip!"
The neckline of her sexy tight-fitting dress was instantly torn apart!
