From a perfectly seared steak on a Tuesday night to a Beef Wellington that makes the dinner party, you can perfect your meat-cooking skills.
In this full-day beef and lamb cooking workshop, you'll cook eight dishes and learn searing, doneness, slow cooking, pan sauces and spice, plus how to prepare a whole rack of lamb.
The menu
The dinner party showstopper: Beef Wellington, Herb-Crusted Lamb Rack & Slow-Roasted Lamb Shoulder
You'll wrap a beef fillet in mushroom duxelles, prosciutto and golden puff pastry, then rest and carve it so every slice is pink to the edge. You'll French-trim a whole rack of lamb, crust it with herbs and mustard, and roast it to medium-rare. You'll also slow-roast a spiced lamb shoulder until it pulls apart at the touch of a fork. Served with a creamy potato gratin and a fresh salsa verde, it's a complete dinner party menu.
There's also:
  • Pan-seared steak with a red wine and peppercorn pan sauce
  • Red wine braised beef – a slow-cooked dish to make once and enjoy twice
  • Vietnamese shaking beef (bò lĂşc lắc) – a fast, high-heat stir-fry
  • Spiced lamb kofta with warm flatbread and garlic yoghurt
What you'll learn
  • Choose the right cut for the right method, from premium fillet to budget-friendly shoulder and mince
  • Sear for a deep crust and cook steak to the doneness you want
  • Use temperature and resting to get consistent results
  • French-trim and roast a whole rack of lamb
  • Wrap, chill and bake a Wellington without a soggy base
  • Build pan sauces, slow braises and slow roasts with depth of flavour
  • Season, spice and shape mince for kofta
  • Make classic sides and fresh sauces that finish the plate
This is Day 2 of The Confident Home Cook, but you can book it on its own.

ABOUT US
Otao kitchen is a cooking school and event space with a mission for people to come together to cook, connect, celebrate. We believe cooking and eating should be an experience, not just a meal. We created Otao kitchen as an extension of our passions to cook, share and inspire.
EXPERT IN COOKING CLASSES
Otao kitchen was launched in Melbourne, Australia in July 2014, with the goal of celebrating the rich and varied cooking experiences of Melbourne’s immigrant multicultural communities. Its founder, Chef Ha Nguyen, originally from Hanoi shares his passion for food, instructing customers in the exotic diaspora of Asian and around the world cuisine.
WHAT WE DO BEST?
Today our guests can get inspired by cooking with our local and international chefs, listen to their cooking and travel experiences in Asia and around the world and bring some cooking and cultural tips and tricks home. With the nods at the diversity of communities within Melbourne, Otao kitchen features an array of global food experiences from Indian to Japan to Mexico and more.
In 2020 with the challenge of global Covid 19 pandemic, we set out to capture the curriculum of our hands-cooking classes and deliver it online to home cooks in Australia and across the world to guide you to cooking success and better health.
Products and services: cooking master classes, private and corporate events, catering and event services, kid and school programs, and gift vouchers.
