About This Class

Good steak at home comes down to three things: the right cut, a hot pan and knowing when to stop. This class covers all of them. Our chef will start by demonstrating three cuts side by side: fillet, sirloin and skirt. You'll see how each one behaves in the pan and why they need different treatment. Alongside the steaks you'll see three classic partners made: Café de Paris butter, a peppercorn sauce and a fresh, sharp chimichurri. Then it's your turn. You'll cook a sirloin to exactly how you like it, make your own Café de Paris butter and build a peppercorn sauce in the same pan. By the end you'll understand heat, timing and resting well enough to cook steak with confidence at home. Dietary Info: Not suitable for vegetarian or vegan diets.
