When it comes to unforgettable flavor, it’s not just what you use—it’s how you use it. Layering your seasoning blends like a chef is the secret to turning an ordinary dish into an extraordinary experience. Whether you're grilling steaks or prepping a show-stopping brunch, mastering the art of seasoning will transform your kitchen into a five-star dining room.
Layering Seasoning Blends for Ultimate Flavor
Layering is the practice of applying seasoning at multiple stages of cooking, allowing each blend to build depth, contrast, and complexity. At the Golden Steer, our legacy of flavor is built on this very technique—starting with the foundational Sergio’s Seasoning and layering on blends like Bowtie, French Cuffs, or Pepper Mafia for targeted flavor profiles.
Why layer? Simple. It lets each component shine. Sergio’s brings the savory base while Bowtie adds a pop of citrus brightness, and Table 40 delivers that rich, Italian fresh herb depth.
Let’s break it down.
Chef-Inspired Tips for Seasoning
Here’s how to season like a legend:
-
Begin with Sergio’s Seasoning to set the tone. It’s designed for layering—bold but not overpowering. We've crafted it to be the perfect salt and pepper replacement.
-
Mid-cook, layer in blends like De Jonghe Seasoning or Pepper Mafia to introduce new notes—herbaceous, spicy. Perfect for chicken or steak.
-
Sprinkle a touch of French Cuffs Seasoning just before plating for a refined flourish. It also goes great on your morning eggs or in your favorite soup.
