PALMER, Alaska—
Two local chefs offered Alaska State Fair visitors their best take on beef Sunday. Chefs Kevin Lane and Mike Graham competed in the fair’s Carrs Safeway Ranchers Reserve Beef Throwdown. They showcased the many different ways to prepare three cuts of steak during the TV-style competiton.
Some of the menu items included sirloin and jasmine rice with Pacific coast glaze, and Korean tacos.
“Some of the stuff in the first round, he had the meat marinating for about 6 hours before the competition -- so they are not just doing the same old thing, they are actually trying new things,” said Frank Delaney.
The chefs were judged in categories like Best Sirloin and People's Choice.
