At the end of this cooking school lesson, you will be able to:

  • cook steak to maintain maximum juiciness
  • make a quick pan sauce for your steak
  • understand why resting steak is important
  • understand two different techniques used to cook steak
  • understand the importance of cooking temperatures and times when cooking steak
  • use a couple of different techniques for checking steak doneness
