Introduction:

We’re going to be cooking with live fire, just like our ancestors did, and we’re going to have a fantastic time doing it!  We’re going to break down the barriers and myths around charcoal cooking.   We’ll be setting up the grills for direct and indirect cooking.  We’ll be lighting charcoal and managing temperatures.  

New for 2025: Rob has been cooking on offset smokers (stickburners) since 2007.  The popularity of this  style of smoker has exploded, so let’s talk about them!  We’ll have 1 or 2 different offsets running during class so we can discuss fire management and strategies.

Topics:

– Types of Charcoal, pros & cons
– Lighting Options
– Wood Smoke for fuel and/or flavour
– Direct vs. indirect
– Indirect setup options
– Cooking on:  Yoder Charcoal, Yoder Offset, DrumBo Smokers and Weber Kettles

–  Skirt Steak tacos with grilled salsa & tortillas
– Reverse-seared double cut pork chops
– Froggy style chicken
– Caveman style broccoli
– Charcoal potato chips

Steak Master Class – Regina – April 2nd, 2025

April 2nd, 2025 (Wednesday)

Tentative time 6:00-8:30 PM

Location: 1169 Winnipeg St., Regina, SK S4R 1J5.  Link to Google Maps here.

Beef – it’s What’s for Dinner!   Bring your appetites!  

We will cover all aspects of steak, from start to finish.  No question will go unanswered.  Topics will include:

  • Cuts:  low demand vs high demand cuts, flavour vs tenderness, etc.
  • Techniques:  We’ll cover a few of them in class and discuss other options for cooking
  • Aging:  Wet aging vs dry aging vs fresh
  • Seasoning
  • Selection, grading, etc.

Steaks to be cooked and served in class:

1)  Redneck Sous-Vide      You won’t believe how easy this technique is… One of our favourite ways to grill steak, and virtually guaranteed to finish at the perfect temperature.  We’ll be grilling these steaks directly over natural lump charcoal.

2) Tri-tip        We think this cut has more natural beef flavour than any other… It’s popular in California, and we’ll show you why it should be popular in your home.   This cut will be smoked on a Drumbo Smoker.  We’ll serve it with freshly grilled garlic toast and homemade salsa fresca.

3) World Championship steak       This is the same recipe and technique that won Prairie Smoke & Spice the World Champion title*, 2 years in a row, at the Jack Daniels World Championship Invitational Barbecue in Lynchburg, Tennessee.  We’ll tell you all the details in class, not here 🙂   This steak will be cooked over charcoal.
