Garlic Butter Brazilian Steak is a mouthwatering dish featuring juicy skirt steak served with a rich, flavorful garlic butter sauce. This quick and easy recipe takes just 15 minutes to prepare, perfect for a satisfying dinner.

Ingredients

1 lb skirt steak

Salt and pepper to taste

6 tsp minced garlic (Add half if you like a less garlic flavor)

1/4 cup chopped parsley

5 tbsp unsalted butter

Salt to taste for the butter

Instructions

  1. Cut the skirt steak into 3 or 4 parts. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat a heavy-duty skillet over medium-high heat until it’s very hot. Add oil to the skillet and sear the steak for 2-3 minutes on each side until it reaches medium-rare doneness. For more well-done steak, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes per side.
  3. Once cooked to your liking, remove the steaks and place them on a plate. Cover with foil and let them rest.
  4. In the same skillet, melt the butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until the garlic becomes lightly golden. Be careful not to overcook or burn the garlic and butter.
  5. Pour the garlic butter into a small bowl and season with salt to taste.
  6. Slice the rested steak against the grain to ensure maximum tenderness. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, then pour the garlic butter over the steak. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For more tender steak, always cut against the grain.
  • Customize the garlic butter with herbs like thyme or rosemary for added flavor.
  • For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper to the garlic butter.
  • Optional: Add lemon zest for a fresh, citrusy note.
  • If you prefer a well-done steak, cook it for a few extra minutes per side until your desired doneness is reached.
