Virginia Beef Challenge: April 15 at Virginia Beef Expo
Using a mystery bag of ingredients, teams prepare a dish in 40 minutes and present it to a judging panel. Youth explain their preparation steps, serving size, food safety concerns, nutrition value. Each team will be provided an equipment supply kit and will be provided the name of the key beef ingredient in advance. Teams are challenged to be creative and develop their own recipe with the ingredients provided. This is perfect for food challenge teams!
FYI: Virginia Beef Ambassador will not be offered this year due to requirement restructuring at the state and national level.
