The Steel Chef is an Emmirian cooking contest on E1TV. The show premiered in 2004. In each episode, a new challenger chef competes against one of the resident "Steel Chefs" in a one-hour cooking competition based on a secret ingredient or ingredients, and sometimes theme.

The Steel Chefs

Note: For Seasons 1 and 2, only 6 Steel Chefs competed. As of Season 3 onwards, 8 Steel Chefs would compete at a time.
Note: (REF) means that the Steef Chef is "retired" and is no longer a Steel Chef on the show.

Format

After the active Steel Chefs are introduced by Jiyaad Azzam, the challenger chef is introduced. Starting in Season 2, the challenger chef then selects the Steel Chef they will battle. An ingredient or group of ingredients (referred to as the "secret ingredient(s)") is revealed, and the cooking begins. On occasion, the ingredients are actually a 'theme meal;' for example, eggs, bacon, potatoes, etc. are revealed and thus the "secret ingredient" is breakfast. Both the competitor and the Steel Chef are given a list of three to five ingredients before the battle, of which one will be the secret ingredient. Both the challenger and the Steel Chef have 60 minutes to prepare a minimum of five dishes based on a theme ingredient.
