Sergio's Seasoning Recipe: Street-Style Corn

Sergio's Seasoning Recipe: Street-Style Corn

There’s something about street corn — smoky from the grill, dripping with buttery goodness, and coated in craveable toppings — that makes it impossible to resist. We’ve taken the classic elote you know and love and given it a steakhouse twist. This version layers Sergio’s Seasoning for a perfectly balanced base, brightens things up with Bowtie Seasoning, and finishes with a luxurious drizzle of Maitre d’ Butter for a rich, garlicky taste.

It’s messy in the best way, bursting with flavor in every bite, and ready to be the star of your next cookout.

Ingredients

  • 4 ears of fresh corn, husked
  • 1 tablespoon Sergio’s Seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon Bowtie Seasoning
  • 3 tablespoons Maitre d’ Butter, melted
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup crumbled cotija cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges

Directions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly brush each ear of corn with melted Maitre d’ Butter.
  2. Season generously with Sergio’s Seasoning, making sure each kernel gets a little love.
  3. Grill the corn, turning every 2–3 minutes, until charred in spots and tender, about 8–10 minutes total.
  4. While hot, brush each ear with mayonnaise, then sprinkle with Bowtie Seasoning for a burst of lemon-pepper brightness.
  5. Drizzle generously with more melted Maitre d’ Butter and roll in cotija cheese until coated.
  6. Finish with cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice before serving.

Serving Tips

  • Keep it casual: Serve right on the cob with extra napkins — it’s part of the fun.
  • Deconstruct it: Slice the kernels off and toss with the same toppings for a party-ready corn salad.
  • Pair it up: This elote is the perfect side for grilled steaks, BBQ chicken, or a seafood feast.

Why use this trio of seasonings and butter?

Because they hit every note your taste buds crave.

  • Sergio’s Seasoning: Your all-in-one salt and pepper replacement, delivering a clean, balanced base that lets the corn shine.
  • Bowtie Seasoning: A citrus-forward blend with the zing of lemon and bite of black pepper to brighten every bite.
  • Maitre d’ Butter: A garlicky, herb-packed compound butter that melts into the corn for rich, steakhouse-level indulgence.

When combined, they bring layers of flavor that go far beyond the average street corn.

Can I use these seasonings for other sides?

Absolutely. Sergio’s and Bowtie are incredible on grilled veggies, potatoes, or even popcorn. Maitre d’ Butter? Melt it over baked potatoes, seared steaks, or fresh bread.
