Question about" What's Your Beef" Catagory

[tonto1117]

Planning on entering this at our next comp. My question is can it be anything that has beef in it such as(6 mini) smoked beef enchiladas?? Or does it have to be "Beef Steak" in six individual portions with whatever kind of garnish you want. Sorry if this is a dumb question, Iv'e never done one of these before.
