HERVEY Bay cooking couple Dan and Steph Mulheron are one step closer to their dreams of starting a family after winning Seven's My Kitchen Rules
The toughly fought kitchen battle saw Dan and Steph narrowly defeat Sunshine Coast siblings Jake and Elle Harrison by just two points in the culmination of the months-long reality show.
Dan and Steph have revealed they will use the money to fund further IVF treatments and open a gourmet sausage shop.
They were required to serve a five-course meal for family, friends and former contestants, 100 plates in total, and were judged on the quality of the food and presentation.
In the end Manu Fieldel and Pete Evans judged Dan and Steph's offering more highly, giving them a score of 54/60.
Jake and Elle were awarded 52/60 and the two point difference saw them sent home as runners up.
Dan and Steph have previously spoken of their desire to start a family after trying for five years. They have undergone IVF treatment once already and have been saving for their next attempt.

The $250,000 cash prize will give them the freedom to keep trying.
"The dream is to have three kids, me with my sausage shop, Steph at home as a mum and live comfortably," Dan said in the lead-up to last night's grand final.
"I want to work hard, have the weekends off with family and be able to provide for my family, that is the ideal."
Heading into the competition the pair were living week-to-week just making ends meet as they saved to make their dreams come true. For siblings Jake and Elle, the dream was to open a late-night supper club in Brisbane and while not taking out the cash prize will certainly prove a hurdle for them, they are determined to turn that dream into reality under their own steam.
They said they weren't completely disappointed.
"The only difference is $250,000," Elle said. "That is amazing but coming second is still amazing. We are the youngest competitors ever in this competition, getting this far is incredible."
KNIVES OUT: My Kitchen Rules grand finalists Jake and Elle Harrison and Steph and Dan Mulheron.
Both duos held separate grand final parties with family and friends at Brisbane venues.
Regardless, Jake and Elle said they would be "partying well into Monday".
They were all kept in the dark about who would win the competition until it was announced on air last night with dual endings shot to keep the final result a secret.
