Who made this dish?
Fillet steak on garlic and thyme mushrooms and buttery green beans with a parmesan and lemon crumb, triple-cooked chips, and a peppercorn sauce.
Samantha is a 39-year-old financial assistant and mum of two who has dreamed of entering the competition for over 15 years. The dish is her family's special-occasion 'treat night' meal.
Samantha: "I'm definitely a MasterChef super fan. I've watched pretty much every series and I was thinking, I can do this. I want to have a go at this."
Samantha: "Since I was a kid, I've always loved that. Like when we're on holiday, I'd have my pepper steak and chips. And that would be me for two weeks every night."
Anna: "Needs to be a beautifully cooked steak, brown, burnished on the outside, a little bit bloody in the middle. And I want a lovely buttery peppercorn sauce. That means business. I want there still to be whole peppercorns in that sauce."
Grace: "Your beef has been nicely seared on the outside. We've got a medium rare centre. Your triple cooked chips, I like a chunky chip. It's got a crunchy edge to it, but a touch of seasoning and the whole dish would be elevated."
Anna: "I like the sauce, but you've taken the peppercorns out of it, so it hasn't got that punch. You're holding back with that."
