The IncREDible Steak Off
by Boylen
The Streaky Bay Hotel has beaten more than 170 competitors for the quality of its steak and red wine offering.
And in a stunning display of generosity, licensees Tony and Penny Hogan have passed on the $10,000 prize money to staff and a local charity.
The dish, devised by head chef Luke Matthews, was an eye fillet (from Top Notch Foods) with potato rosti, broccolini and a garlic herb compound butter.
It was paired with a glass of Grant Burge Filsell Old Vine Shiraz.
The hotel was approached by their Accolade rep, Grant Egarr, to participate in the Australia-wide competition with a $10,000 prize and a VIP trip for two to the Barossa Valley.
Customers were asked to “rate their steak” using a QR code at the venue during May and June.
The Streaky Bay Hotel was named the national winner after it received the most 5-star ratings.
The pub then delighted staff by announcing it would share the prize money with them, as well as giving a donation to the Royal Flying Doctors.
