Southwestern Steak with Jalapeno Corn Salsa

I recently found out that a recipe which I entered into the National Cornbread Cook-Off had earned me a position in the finals, to be held in South Pittsburg, Tennessee, at the end of April. This small southern town is the home of both Lodge Cast-Iron Cookware and Martha White baking mixes, but its claim to fame is the annual National Cornbread Festival, an event that draws over 40,000 people, who do everything from compete in the buttermilk chug to run in the 5K (hopefully not both–that could be a disaster).

Because the cook-off is sponsored by both Lodge and Martha White, your recipe must be completely prepared using only a cast-iron skillet, and it must include a Martha White cornbread or cornmeal product. Sorry, I don’t think I am allowed to disclose the name of my recipe until I get the “go-ahead” from the festival folks, but my fellow contester and blogger of Picky Palate, Jenny Flake, won last year with her Chicken Taco Cornbread Wedges with Ranchero Cilantro Drizzle (I know, YUM).

If you know anything about cast-iron cookware, then you know that it must be seasoned prior to use, or else anything and everything will stick to the surface and will acquire an oddly metallic taste. Now, I’m still fairly new to this whole competitive cooking circuit, but I’m pretty sure that those are two surefire ways not to win! Seasoning involves baking oil or grease into the pan which results in a non-stick and rust-free surface. A properly seasoned pan eventually develops a shiny black surface and can last several lifetimes. I read that some die-hard seasoners refuse to use anything but bacon grease to season their pans, which explains the can of the unappetizing looking substance that has been sitting on my kitchen counter for the past week (hey, I’m nothing if not committed). I have been a seasoning machine, and the other night it was finally time to test my work.

I decided to make a simply seasoned steak topped with a spicy corn salsa that was prepared in the cast-iron skillet. By cooking the corn kernels in the dry skillet, they became slightly charred and a little bit smoky. The cast-iron conducts heat evenly and rapidly, so the salsa came together in mere minutes and was easy to reheat just before serving. Nothing stuck to the pan, and there was no metallic aftertaste, so it appears that I am a seasoning success story. We’ll see what the people in Tennessee think….. Here are my tips for preparing this spicy steak and salsa:
