The Australian Hotels Association (WA) is excited to reveal the eight finalists in the 2025 AHA & Little Creatures WA’s Best Steak Sandwich competition – four from country WA and four from the Perth metro area.
Now in its 18th year, the iconic competition has once again fired up grills and imaginations across the state, with public votes and mystery judge visits helping to determine this year’s finalists in two categories.
AHA(WA) CEO Bradley Woods said the standard of entries continues to impress, with more than 70 venues entering and showcasing exceptional levels of flavour, creativity and presentation.
“WA’s Best Steak Sandwich is more than just a competition – it’s a sizzling showcase of foodie passion and the incredible talent we have in our pubs and hotels across the state,” said Mr Woods.
“The energy this year has been fantastic. Venues have thrown themselves into it, especially on social media – rallying their communities and bringing some serious steak sandwich spirit to the competition. We’re looking forward to seeing what the finalists bring to the stage during the live cook-off to determine the winners.”
The finalists will compete for the prestigious titles of country WA champion on 24 June and Perth metro champion on 25 June at the 2025 AHA Hospitality Expo at Crown Perth. They will present their steak sandwiches to a panel of judges who will assess tenderness, presentation, originality, flavour, chips, sauces and value.
