Mastering the Perfect Steak with Simon Gault

The Fail-Safe Method for Cooking Steak Like a Pro

Join Simon Gault for an exclusive steak cooking demonstration at Gault’s Deli, where you’ll learn the fail-safe method for achieving a perfectly cooked steak—every time.

Simon will also reveal insider tips and tricks to ensure you can confidently execute the technique on any thick-cut steak.

As a bonus, Simon will demonstrate how to prepare the centre cut of eye fillet, paired with a rich wild mushroom sauce—the perfect finishing touch to a flavour-packed, tender steak.
