IT'S DOWN TO THE WIRE ON AN ALL-NEW "MASTERCHEF" WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, ON FOX

The Top Five home cooks face a series of pressure-filled skills tests using an incredibly common protein - beef. The judges will decide which contestant will claim a safe spot on the balcony and who will face another culinary test. The two weakest home cooks go head-to-head to claim the final spot in the Top Four, while the other will be cut. Then, the final four are split into two teams, and will need to cook one incredible entrée for the judges' mentors - Chefs Daniel Boulud, Jonathan Waxman and Lidia Bastianich. The judges will choose which winning team will move on, leaving the final two to battle it out in a do-or-die pressure test, which will send one contestant home and the other to the finale. Find out which three make it onto the finale in the all-new two-hour "Battle of the Beef/The Semi Final" episode of MASTERCHEF airing Wednesday, Sept. 12 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
