INGREDIENTS
For the steaks and seasoning:

BCW Steak Seasoning
Drizzle of extra virgin olive oil
2 Tablespoons of Booth Creek Wagyu Tallow
For the pan sauce:
1 Tablespoon minced shallot
1 garlic clove, crushed and peeled

1 cup low-sodium beef broth
1 Tablespoon butter
For the scallops:
1 Tablespoon butter
1 Tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil

DIRECTIONS
Place steak on a plate on the counter to warm up for about 30 minutes before starting to cook. Preheat oven to 400° F.
For the steaks: Drizzle tops of steaks with extra virgin olive oil, then generously sprinkle on seasoning and rub into steaks. Repeat on the other side.
Heat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat until very hot then add tallow. Once melted, add steaks and sear until a golden brown crust has formed on the bottom, usually takes about 2 minutes. Flip steaks then place entire skillet into oven and roast for 10 minutes. Remove steaks from skillet and add to a plate to rest while you prepare the rest of the dish.
For the pan sauce: Place hot skillet back over medium-high heat, then add shallots and sauté for 30 seconds. Add rosemary, garlic, and wine, then simmer until wine is reduced by half. Add beef broth, then simmer until sauce is thickened and reduced, which can take between 7 to 9 minutes.
For the scallops: Pat scallops very dry between layers of paper towels, then season with salt and pepper on both sides. Melt butter and extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add scallops and sear for 90 seconds. Flip, then sear for 90 more seconds.
Plate steaks and scallops on two plates, then drizzle pan sauce over steaks and serve.

4-5 lbs. Booth Creek Wagyu Brisket
2 quarts water
1 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 tsp InstaCure #1/Pink Salt #1
1 cinnamon stick, broken into several pieces

Trim external fat from brisket, traditionally a brisket flat is preferred.
Place the brisket in a non-reactive container and add the brine; cover and refrigerate for 10 days. Check daily to ensure the beef is completely submerged and stir the brine.
After 10 days, remove from the brine, rinse and place in water bath (again under refrigeration) for 1 day to purge some of the salt back out of the brisket (if boiling traditionally, no need to complete this step). Drain and rinse brisket after 6-8 hours in water bath
Using mustard as a binder, Season the brisket liberally with Garlic Pepper and freshly ground toasted coriander seed. (About 3TBS of each)
Place into a 250ºF smoker, and cook for 6 hours (Internal temp of 170ºF)

Add the beef. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is browned on all sides, about 6 to 8 minutes.
Add the Worcestershire sauce and thyme. Add about 1/2 cup of the beef stock. Stir, scraping a wooden spoon or spatula along the bottom of the pot, to ensure you remove any of the brown bits in the pot. Add the next 4 1/2 cups stock and the bay leaf.
