Let’s Go Argentina! Steaks & Chimichurri

Let’s Go Argentina and celebrate summer! A perfectly cooked steak (or Portobello Mushroom) awaits, with a side of chimichurri sauce that’s as spicy as you like it. 

Whether you have a grill or not: everyone should learn the best method to pan-sear a steak. (Wintertime happens, or a rainy day, or perhaps you don’t always have access to a grill.) In this class, we’ll focus on pan-cooking a steak and how to finish it to perfection. We’ll chop-chop-chop a tangy chimichurri as the accompaniment.
