You don’t need to be a good chef to cook a GREAT steak.
The Perfect Steak, Every Time is a fun, hands-on class that’s all about cracking the code for juicy, tender steaks with that perfect crispy crust everyone dreams of.
Born and raised on the prairies of Brazil, Chef Fabricio Daros learned from his mother how to cook over open fire with charcoal and woodsmoke, a style rooted in instinct, simplicity, and respect for the meat.
Inside L’OCA Labs, you’ll learn how to prepare a variety of selected cuts of premium Alberta beef from The L’OCA Butcher Shop perfectly, and how to get the best out of each one.
Chef Fabricio will walk you through the difference between cast iron and stainless steel pans, how to baste like a pro, and why resting and slicing your steak the right way can make all the difference.
And when the cooking is done, everyone will gather around to enjoy the juicy, perfectly cooked steak they made themselves.

His mother, a pastry chef, instilled a respect for small farmers and introduced him to the Uruguayan parrilla tradition of cooking an entire animal with charcoal over an open fire.

Chef Fabricio feels that food has always been the language that connects him with other people and to the land.
