🥩🔥 Master the Steakhouse: Secrets to Perfect Steaks & Sides! 🔥🥩

Ever wonder how your favorite steakhouse gets that perfect crust, juicy interior, and bold, unforgettable flavor? Now’s your chance to learn the secrets behind those sizzling plates! Join Chef John Alunni for an interactive, hands-on experience where you’ll discover the art of cooking restaurant-quality steaks and elevated sides right in your own kitchen. 🍽️

Together, we’ll explore how to select premium cuts of beef, master multiple cooking techniques—including grilling, pan-searing, sous vide, and reverse searing—and learn how to season, marinate, and rest your steaks for peak tenderness and flavor. Chef John will also share insider tips for making rich compound butters, perfect pan sauces, and side dishes worthy of any top-tier steakhouse. 🌟

Reverse-Seared Smoked Cajun Ribeye 🌶️
A bold, flavor-packed Delmonico steak seasoned with Cajun spices, slow-roasted, then seared to create that irresistible steakhouse crust. Served with a delicious creamy caper sauce.

Roasted Balsamic Glazed Carrots 🥕
Sweet heirloom carrots caramelized in a balsamic reduction with sea salt and herbs for a savory, sophisticated side.

Lobster & Crab Mac & Cheese 🦞🧀
An indulgent blend of creamy cheeses, succulent lobster, and tender crab, baked until golden and bubbling—a true showstopper.

Mom’s Skillet Apple Cobbler with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream & Whip 🍏🍨
Crispy, caramelized edges and soft, cinnamon-spiced apples—just like Mom used to make, served warm with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream and a dollop of whipped cream.
