Sear skirt steak hard, finish it in brown butter and garlic spiked with Cattle Drive

Ingredients

FOR THE STEAK

  • 2 Pounds skirt steak, trimmed and cut into 4 inch pieces
  • 2 Tablespoons Casa M Spice Co Cattle Drive
  • 3 Tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1-2 Teaspoons kosher salt (to taste)
  • 1/4 Cup unsalted butter
  • 1 Tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Method

  1. 01

    Season with salt

    1 min

    Season both sides of each steak piece with kosher salt to taste. This draws out moisture and helps build a better crust when you hit the pan.

  2. 02

    Season with Cattle Drive

    1 min

    Coat both sides generously with about 2 tablespoons of Casa M Spice Co Cattle Drive. This is your flavor anchor, so don't be shy.

  3. 03

    Coat with garlic

    1 min

    Spread minced garlic evenly on one side of each piece. The garlic will toast and caramelize in the butter, adding depth without burning.

  4. 04

    Sear the steak hard

    10 min

    Heat a heavy-duty skillet over medium-high heat and sear the meat 4 to 5 minutes per side until you've got a dark, crusty exterior. Don't move it around — let the heat do its job.

  5. 05

    Rest the meat

    5 min

    Transfer the seared steak to a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes. This relaxes the muscle fibers and keeps the meat juicy when you slice it.

  6. 06

    Brown the butter

    2 min

    In the same skillet, melt the butter over low heat until it foams and smells nutty. The browned milk solids are where the magic happens.

  7. 07

    Slice and plate

    2 min

    Slice the rested steak and transfer it to your serving dish. This is the moment — everything's ready to come together.

  8. 08

    Finish and serve

    1 min

    Pour the brown butter over the sliced steak and garnish with fresh parsley. That garlic-butter combination with the Cattle Drive spice blend is the payoff.

From Mike's Notebook

01

Cut skirt steak against the grain after cooking, not before — keeps those short fibers intact.

02

Toast your garlic in butter for 30 seconds before adding the meat; raw garlic turns bitter.

03

Let the steak rest 3 minutes after searing so the butter actually penetrates instead of running off.
