Garlic Butter Skirt Steak

by Casa M Spice Co® August 26, 2019

Skirt steak, one the tastiest cuts there is! For this recipe, we were inspired by a classic Brazilian dish! We seasoned our garlic butter skirt steak with Casa M Spice Co® Cattle Drive® beef seasoning to bring rich background flavors and a touch of heat to the dish. For a little more heat, go with our Casa M Spice Co® Uncontrolled Cattle Drive®.

Skirt steaks take to marinades better than flank steaks and are best cooked quickly over high heat, although they can also be slow-cooked and braised. Skirt steak is best seared or grilled and is the classic cut used in beef fajitas!

For this recipe we pan seared our steak. This made it easy to get the right temp and a quick sear on the steak while keeping out of the Texas heat… or inside for those cold winter months.

You can serve these over rice and beans, in fajitas, over a green salad and much more!

As always, from our table to yours... #SpiceConfidently #EssenceOfFlavor #ChemistryInTheKitchen #CasaMSpice
