Premier Hotel Albany, Hybla Tavern and Bremer Bay Resort up to win title of WA's best steak sandwich
Albany's Premier Hotel and Hybla Tavern are joined by the Bremer Bay resort to compete in the 2025 AHA & Little Creatures WA's Best Steak Sandwich competition.
The public can choose their preferred sandwich out of 19 regional and 50 metropolitan nominated restaurants.
Premier Hotel events and administration manager Yvette Boyd believes her pub's beloved favourite is in with a chance due to its fresh ingredients and traditional style.
'The chef makes their own onion jam on site and it just finishes the sandwich off as a simple classic that works really well,' she said.
'It's a traditional pub-style steak sandwich with really fresh ingredients.
'We even have Tuesday dedicated to our steak sandwiches, with our $25 steak sandwich and pint special.'
Bremer Bay Resort's events and marketing manager Veronica Thomas, however, thinks the title belongs a bit further east along the south coast.
'We think our steak sandwich is the greatest because it's packed with 200g of perfectly seasoned, medium-rare steak, layered with melted cheese, fresh lettuce and tomato, sweet and tangy peperonata, and a bold chimichurri sauce — all served in a warm Turkish panini with a side of golden, crispy chips,' she said.
'(It's) crafted with care by our talented head chef Noi Boonkerd and her exceptional team.'
Hybla Tavern on Middleton Beach is also in the running with its Melaleuka Farm Steak Sandwich, which head chef Arnaldo Ramos said includes a nod to his Filipino heritage while incorporating modern Australian flavours.
'Incorporating our very own premium Melaleuka Farm beef, farmed by us at our family farm in North Dandalup, our steak sandwich consists of only the freshest, locally sourced ingredients and offers our guests an intriguing twist on a traditional steak sandwich, a dish that they would not expect and an unforgettable flavour that will keep them coming back,' he said
The public can sample the sandwiches and
vote for their favourite online
until May 26.
The people's vote, combined with the results of mystery judge visits throughout May, will decide the top four metro and regional finalists who will demonstrate their prowess in a live cook-off at the 2025 AHA Hospitality Expo at Crown Perth on June 24 and 25.
AHA WA chief executive Bradley Woods said the steak sandwich competition — now in its 18th year — 'captures the heart of Western Australia's vibrant hospitality scene'.
It's an opportunity for venues to showcase their culinary flair, engage with their communities, and be recognised for producing one of WA's most iconic and loved dishes.
'This year's competition promises to be a thrilling one, and we encourage everyone to get behind their favourite venue and help them secure a place in the live cook-offs.'

Big copper target lurking for Southern Hemisphere, FMR
Southern Hemisphere Mining and JV partner FMR Resources say that reprocessed geophysics at their Llahuin's Curiosity–Southern porphyry at the Llahuin Copper‑gold‑moly project in Chile might have a copper tiger by the tail. The JV partners say the reprocessed geophysical reinterpretation blending MT, IP, and magnetic survey data with field mapping and historic drill-logging is showing all the potential hallmarks of a big copper porphyry target lurking at depth. The latest geophysical advancement builds on Southern Hemisphere and FMR's recent resource uplift to 218 Mt at 0.38 per cent copper equivalent, containing approximately 496,600 tonnes of copper, 654,000 ounces of gold, and 12,500 tonnes of molybdenum. That figure is backed up by a further 260–340 million tonne exploration target across the Llahuin domain. Llahuin sits in Chile's copper heartland of Coquimbo, roughly 350km north of Santiago with power, roads, and logistics already in play. Southern Hemisphere's field teams, together with FMR, flagged argillic alteration, silicification, quartz veining, and oxide-after-sulphide textures at surface, all hallmarks of a porphyry system right above the newly mapped geophysical footprint. The newly-modelled 3D inversion highlights a low-resistivity anomaly plunging more than 1,400m below the surface and extending laterally over 1 km, more textbook red flags for porphyry architecture. Chairman Mark Stowell called the geometry 'textbook' and likened it to the famous Valeriano deposit, signalling both technical pedigree and scale. To sharpen targeting, Southern Hemisphere is revisiting historic drill data: a standout intercept, for example, included 164m at 0.16 per cent copper equivalent from near surface and deeper, far richer grade hits like 2m at 1.45 per cent copper equivalent from around 168m. The staged data layers now feed into a tight targeting model ahead of deep drilling. Under the terms of the JV framework with Southern Hemisphere, FMR can earn up to 60 per cent of the southern concessions, funding exploration that's pegged to include a minimum 1,400m deep hole into Curiosity. A$2.2 million capital raise and support from heavy-hitter Mark Creasy has lent weight to the joint venture push. The next stage for the JV partners is to test the new geophysical theories with the rotary truth diviner which is expected to happen soon – watch this space.

Could do better - NAPLAN results show many children aren't meeting expectations
The NAPLAN annual assessment, completed by 1.3 million students in March, shows that many children — particularly from disadvantaged backgrounds — are still falling through the cracks. The Australian Curriculum Assessment and Reporting Authority described this year's results as broadly 'stable'. The federal government says it has made the biggest investment in public schools ... worth $16 billion over the next 10 years, with funding tied to real and practical reforms.
