The capabilities of cast iron are limitless — and in this class, you'll discover why the humble skillet is the secret weapon behind steakhouse-caliber cooking at home. Join Chef Melissa for a fun, educational, and downright delicious deep dive into the art of the sear, as she walks you through a full steakhouse spread built entirely around one indispensable pan.

You'll start with a classic Wedge Salad, crisp iceberg piled high with creamy blue cheese dressing and crumbled bacon — the perfect opening act to whet your appetite. Then it's time for the main event: The Perfect Porterhouse, where Chef Melissa reveals her techniques for achieving a deep, restaurant-quality crust while nailing the ideal doneness every time, no guesswork required. Given the generous size of a porterhouse, students will pair up and share one steak between two — a fitting setup for a cut that's practically built for sharing. Alongside, Loaded Hasselback Potatoes bring together crispy, fanned edges with all the toppings of a classic loaded baked potato in one show-stopping side. To finish, cool off with a silky Espresso Panna Cotta — a make-ahead dessert that proves cast iron's talents extend well beyond the savory side of the menu.

Whether you're looking to finally master steak night at home or just want an excuse to eat exceptionally well on a weeknight, this class will leave you with the skills — and the recipes — to bring the steakhouse experience straight to your own kitchen.
