Steakcraft on Oxford Street: Mastering British Cuts at Jamie Oliver’s Cookery School
A focused, three-hour masterclass on Oxford Street that teaches how to source and cook four British steak cuts and finishes with a rib‑eye dinner, truffled mash and a complimentary drink.
Steakcraft on Oxford Street: Mastering British Cuts at Jamie Oliver’s Cookery School.
Tucked into the third floor of John Lewis on Oxford Street, this Jamie Oliver Cookery School masterclass concentrates on a single, elemental skill: how to choose, prepare and cook the finest British steak. Over three hours you move from guided demonstrations of four cuts to a hands‑on cook of a rib‑eye supplied by family butcher HG Walter, then sit at the chef’s table to eat what you’ve learned to make — mushroom sauce, truffled mash and all.

Outing Highlights
Four British cuts, explained up close
The class breaks down fillet, rib‑eye, sirloin and flat iron — how to source each and the best way to handle and cut them — giving a clear, practical guide to what separates one steak from another.
Chef demonstration and hands‑on cooking
Watch the chef prepare all four cuts and demonstrate cutting techniques, then take the lead yourself to cook a rib‑eye under instruction — the practical core of the masterclass.
A chef’s table finish with mushroom sauce and truffled mash
The session concludes with a tasting selection of the four cuts and a perfectly cooked rib‑eye served with decadent mushroom sauce, creamy truffled mash and a green salad, accompanied by a complimentary glass of bubbles or a soft drink.

What it feels like to take this class
The rhythm is demonstration, explanation and then practice: an expert-led walkthrough of sourcing and cutting, a live cook of four cuts, then a supervised hands-on cook of a rib‑eye. The practical session ends at the chef’s table, where the food you’ve helped create is plated alongside truffled mash and a glass of bubbles, turning technique into an immediate, edible result.
