The Curriculum

Five Classes.
One Transformation.

Each session is a gallery exhibit of technique. Walk through the curriculum like a museum of fire and meat.

Thick bone-in ribeye steak with perfect golden-brown sear in cast iron pan
Class 01
Class 01Cast Iron / Oven

First Fire

Bone-In Ribeye / Reverse Sear

Learn why the reverse sear produces a more even cook than direct heat alone. You'll probe, rest, and render the fat cap until it blisters. Take home a steak that looks like a restaurant sent it.

Split beef marrow bones roasted golden brown in a cast iron pan with coarse salt
Class 02
Class 02Wood-Fired Oven

The Marrow Session

Femur Bones / Beef Shank / Split-Bone Roast

Split marrow bones roasted until they hiss — then the extraction, the seasoning, the spread. You'll make a tallow-enriched sauce from the drippings that redefines what plant-free cooking can taste like.

Class 03
Class 03Binchotan Charcoal

Dry-Age Decoded

Dry-Aged Bone-In Strip / Tableside Render

The most technically demanding class. Binchotan burns at 1,400°F with almost no smoke. You'll learn to read the crust, manage the Maillard, and plate a steak that earns the silence before the first bite.

Class 04
Class 04Tallow-Basted Pan

Wagyu Protocol

Wagyu A5 / Tomahawk / Minimal Touch Method

A5 is not cooked — it is coaxed. The fat melts at body temperature. You'll learn the minimal-touch method: one flip, no pressing, the pan barely hotter than the meat. We plate it at a 15-degree tilt.

Five beautifully plated carnivore tasting menu courses on dark ceramic plates under pendant lighting

The Plated Artist

Chef's Selection — Full Animal / Nose-to-Tail Composition

Your final class is a tasting menu. You plan the menu, break down the cuts, apply every technique from the series, and plate five courses. Past students call this the class that changes how they eat forever.

Dry-Age Class

Class 03 broke me. I've cooked 400 steaks on a Weber. I had never actually tasted one until that night.

Marrow Session
"

The marrow session alone is worth the full series. The tallow sauce I learned — I make it every week. My wife calls it 'the sauce that ended our plant arguments.'

I came in cooking like a tailgate. I left plating like a supper club. The difference is embarrassing to admit.
