Class Description

Description

Take your meat cookery skills to the next level in this technique-driven, hands-on class focused on three essential methods: grilling, roasting and braising. You’ll learn how to harness high heat for a perfect sear, roast meats evenly for juicy, flavorful results, and transform tougher cuts into tender, rich dishes through slow braising. Along the way, we’ll cover selecting cuts, seasoning properly, managing temperature and knowing exactly when to rest and carve. Whether you’re cooking for a weeknight dinner or a special gathering, you’ll leave with the confidence to choose the right method and execute it perfectly every time.

Menu: 

  • Grilled Beef Tenderloin Steaks with Miso Butter and Sesame Roasted Asparagus 
  • Spinach and Goat Cheese-Stuffed Pork Tenderloin Roulade with Romesco Sauce 
  • Braised Lamb Tagine with Steamed Couscous 

Skills covered in class:

  • Selecting beef, pork and lamb 
  • Butterflying, stuffing, rolling and tying a roulade 
  • Searing and roasting pork 
  • Determining meat doneness 
  • Grilling steaks 
  • Making compound butter 
  • Braising red meat 
  • Roasting green vegetables 
  • Steaming couscous  

In this hands-on class, students will be paired in groups of three to five and work together as a team to prepare the recipes.
