🔥 Turn up the heat and step into the world of bold flavor, precision cooking, and steakhouse mastery.
In this high-impact, hands-on class, you’ll learn how professional chefs transform premium cuts of beef into unforgettable meals using modern techniques and classic steakhouse methods.
From sous vide precision cooking and the reverse sear method to the art of smoking and finishing over high heat, this experience is built for steak lovers ready to elevate their skills and cook restaurant-quality steaks with confidence at home.
You’ll work with four different cuts, discovering how each responds to temperature, seasoning, and technique—while mastering how to achieve the perfect crust, ideal doneness, and deep, rich flavor every time.
Expect bold flavor, serious technique, and a steakhouse-worthy feast you’ll be proud to recreate.
🔥 Menu Highlights

Expertly seasoned and seared to highlight its tenderness, intense beef flavor, and versatility. Served with a chimichurri sauce.
