THE TECHNIQUE

Reverse‑searing for reliable, restaurant‑quality steak

You’ll learn reverse‑searing — a method that produces a uniformly cooked interior and a deeply browned crust — and the class centers on making a steak you can reproduce at home.

THE SIDES

Creamy parmesan smashed potatoes

Hands‑on instruction includes preparing creamy, parmesan‑infused smashed potatoes designed to pair with the steak.

THE FINISH

Roasted carrots, pan sauce and crispy onions

The session covers roasting carrots with fennel and building a rich pan sauce; crispy frizzled onions provide the final steakhouse flourish.
