New Location!
Market Steer Steakhouse is Santa Fe’s Premier Dining Destination. The restaurant was founded in 2018 by Chef Kathleen Crook and Kristina Goode. Originally located in the Hotel St. Francis, Market Steer has relocated to its new location at 213 Washington Ave in Downtown Santa Fe.
Chef Kathleen Crook, a Native New Mexican, former rancher and rodeo competitor, brings her own sense of joie de vivre to the table. Kathleen’s approach to food comes from her background of being raised on a farm and ranch where eating farm to table was a way of life.
Guests can enjoy an elevated dining experience in the Dining Room, or relax in the Tack Room for light snacks, or simply a cocktail or glass of wine.
Hours:
Monday – Thursday 5:00pm – 9:30pm
Friday and Saturday 5:00pm – 10:00pm
The Tack Room
The Happiest Hour
When you enter the Tack Room, you will see two Chesterfield sofas adorned in denim fabric and a long banquette in Pendleton fabric positioned on top of a bold, red Navajo-inspired rug. Coffee tables designed to look like shadow boxes picture old rodeo memorabilia—from ribbons to steer shows.
Our signature cocktail is Grand Champion, a twist on an old-fashioned with Wagyu washed bourbon. The bar also features a rotating frozen beverages in the summer, such as frozen espresso martinis, aperol spritzes and negronis.
Happy hour is daily from 4:00-5:30pm with $10 offerings—wines, select martinis, signature cocktails and small bites like Trout Rillettes and Smoked Duck Wings with house made giardiniera and white barbecue sauce.

The New MarketSteer
Market Steer Steakhouse, a top Santa Fe restaurant since its opening in 2018, unveils its new 4,500-square-foot location (213 Washington Avenue) for happy hour and dinner service on Monday, July 15 after an extensive renovation to the existing structure.
In its former space, MarketSteer did not have its own bar, but now, craft cocktails will be concocted and served up at the Tack Room, a nod to the chef’s childhood.
“We wanted to honor Chef Kathleen's equestrian and rodeo roots in Southern New Mexico,” said Co-owner, Kristina Goode, “We designed our bar to look like a Tack Room, a place where you store your saddles, bits, ropes and equipment.”
When guests enter the Tack Room, they will see two Chesterfield sofas adorned in denim fabric and a long banquette in Pendleton fabric positioned on top of a bold, red Navajo-inspired rug. Coffee tables designed to look like shadow boxes picture old rodeo memorabilia—from ribbons to steer shows.
The signature cocktail is Grand Champion, a twist on an old-fashioned with Wagyu washed bourbon. Another sure to be fan favorite is the Tequila Mockingbird with silver tequila and muddled watermelon and jalapeno. The bar will also feature a rotating frozen beverage, such as frozen espresso martinis, aperol spritzes and negronis.
For the first time, Market Steer will offer a generous happy hour daily from 4:00-5:30pm with $10 offerings—wines, select martinis, signature cocktails and small bites like Trout Rillettes and Smoked Duck Wings with house made giardiniera and white barbecue sauce.
With seating for 60, the warm dining room is framed with white oak beams and a ceiling reminiscent of the Santa Fe Library’s ceiling. A dramatic chandelier with 600 pieces of hand blown amber glass acts as the room’s centerpiece, and wall sconces made of horse hair tie in the equestrian roots once again. Co-owners Kristina and Kathleen opted for many different fabrics and primary colors to add interest, as well as forest green banquettes—a nod to their time spent in the Rocky Mountains.
Santa Fe native and industry veteran, Tyler Rudoff, has been named the restaurant’s new sommelier and beverage director. He will oversee the cocktail program and expansive wine collection; MarketSteer will now showcase an exposed wine room holding 1,500 bottles.
Chef Kathleen added lighter fare to the new menu, such as three composed fresh seafood entrees. Sourced from Wellfleet Shellfish Company in Massachusetts, Seared Diver Scallops are served over roasted romanesco, Anasazi beans, roasted corn, celery root puree and a fermented pepper relish.
“A Jerk Brined Chicken dish with coconut grits and a spiced chicken jus will also appeal to the non-red meat eaters,” stated Chef Kathleen. “While diners can still find prime steak cuts, we wanted to introduce a wider variety of dishes.”
MarketSteer guests can also enjoy alfresco dining on the new patio with seating for 24.

Market Steer chef selected by James Beard Foundation for Taste America series
A Santa Fe chef has been chosen to represent the city in a national event involving rising restaurant industry stars.
Kathleen Crook of Market Steer Steakhouse has been included in the TasteTwenty list of chefs who will participate in the national Taste America series by the James Beard Foundation, the organization announced Monday in a news release.
The chefs chosen to participate in the series are selected for their culinary talent as well as their contributions beyond the kitchen, according to the release, including their efforts to support sustainable agriculture and advocate for a resilient food system.
The Taste America series will begin July 29 in Los Angeles with an event featuring all 20 chefs on the TasteTwenty list in a walk-around event with multiple food and beverage stations. The series will continue across the country through March 2026, the news release states.
The Santa Fe event is planned for Nov. 12 at Market Steer Steakhouse, 213 Washington Ave. That event will feature Crook and guest chef Allison Jenkins of Santa Fe’s Arroyo Vino.
“These chefs represent the future of American dining — combining culinary excellence with positive leadership that drives our industry forward,” Clare Reichenbach, the foundation’s CEO, said in a statement. “Their dedication to craft and community inspires us, and we’re honored to showcase their talents on a national stage, beginning with our exciting Los Angeles kickoff event.”
According to the Market Steer Steakhouse website, Crook is an Artesia native who grew up helping her grandmother with her catering business. Later, Crook became a world champion roper on the rodeo circuit before turning her attention to a culinary career, honing her skills at several highly regarded restaurants in Dallas and Aspen, Colo. She returned to New Mexico in 2018 as the owner and executive chef of Market Steer.
