Steak, BBQ & Grilling Cooking Classes

Learn to Cook Steak Like a Steakhouse Chef

Most people can light a grill, but few know how to rest, slice and sauce a steak the way the pros do. These steak, BBQ and grilling cooking classes fix that. They sit within our cooking class gifts and the wider range of food and drink experience gifts, and they run in cities including New York, Boston, Baltimore, Pittsburgh and Houston. If you have been searching for grilling classes near me, there may be one closer than you think.

Classes are hands-on and small. A chef shows how to pick the right cut, build a crust in a hot pan, judge doneness without cutting into the meat and finish with a pan sauce or compound butter. Some menus lean classic steakhouse with creamed spinach and crispy potatoes, others take a French bistro angle or pair steak with shrimp for surf and turf. You sit down to eat everything you cook.

A Date Night With a Sizzle

Several sessions are built for two, which makes them a fun alternative to booking a table at a steakhouse. Browse couples cooking classes for more shared kitchen ideas. New steak and grilling menus are added through the year, so the next class may bring a fresh cut or technique to try.

Gifting a Steak Class

A steak class is a natural pick for Father's Day gifts and a hearty choice among birthday gifts. It works for Christmas too, especially for the home cook who already owns every gadget. Send an instant e-voucher by email or choose a printed gift box, and the recipient books a date that suits them.

Do I need any cooking experience?

No. Chefs walk newcomers through every step, from seasoning to slicing against the grain, while confident home cooks pick up pro tricks to take back to their own grill.

Can I bring my own wine or beer?

Some venues welcome BYOB for guests 21 and over, while others serve drinks on site. Check the experience details before you go, since each kitchen sets its own policy.
