The winning team was comprised of members from Denver, Washington, North Dakota, Kansas, Tennessee, and California.
It might have been freezing in Denver during the recent National Cattlemen’s Beef Association annual convention, but the Beef Innovation’s Group sponsored a very heated recipe cook off between state representatives. The contest called for Double R Ranch Co. tenderloin medallions as the basic ingredient and each team prepared a different recipe. The winning recipe not only tastes great, but it can be prepared quickly for dinners on the go. Great job Brown Team!
