Filet Mignon with Garlic Pecorino Mashed Potatoes
Complete Dish: Filet Mignon on Garlic Pecorino Mashed Potato with Roasted Asparagus, Honey Glazed Carrots and Chimichurri Sauce
The Communication Breakdown: Kayla described the dish: "We made a filet mignon on top of a garlic pecorino mashed potato with roasted asparagus, honey glazed carrots, and a chimichurri sauce."
When asked about temperature, Kayla admitted: "I wanted the filet mignon to be medium rare, but I believe that it's going to be medium."
About the shocking setup she inherited: "The filets were in the package still... nothing was seared].
Ryan Kate explained her minimal contribution: "Mostly I set up the station, make sure we have all the ingredients and equipment... The prep... No, I only had 30 minutes."
Harsh Judges' Critique:
Gordon: "Ladies. Sadly, it looks sloppy. Three expensive filet mignons, and they're all seared completely differently. It's such a shame... Wow. So you know it's overcooked... Ryan Kate, what were you doing?... My actual filet is seasoned beautifully, and then everything else just falls apart. It's such a shame. It's just very badly executed."
Joe: "There's a couple of fundamental cooking technique issues here. My steak is actually medium rare, but the carrots, you can hear, which is. The carrots are the simplest thing. They should have been boiled beforehand."
Tiffany: "And also asparagus here, I mean, if you look, it's just mush. It just feels like, Kayla, you just had too much on you to do, and, Ryan Kate, you didn't do enough."
