This delicious steak recipe is perfect with sour cream mashed potatoes or a side salad.A plate of juicy tender Brazilian Steak with garlic butter drizzled on top“Absolutely love it! Simple & Quick.”~ Christopher M. 

Brazilian Steak 

This garlic butter Brazilian steak is just amazing! It’s made with my favorite cut of beef, skirt steak! And only 4 other ingredients (not including salt and pepper). Yes just 4 ingredients and I bet you have most of them.

4 Ingredients and 15 minutes is all it takes. 

I honestly think this is the quickest and most delicious meal. Especially when short on time or just want something fast but GOOD!

The other great thing about this Brazilian steak recipe: you’ll feel like you’re dining at the famous, Fogo de Chao. Nothing like eating a restaurant quality dinners in the comfort of your home. 

HOW TO MAKE BRAZILIAN STEAK

This recipe is so simple but it has 5 star quality taste. Just 4 ingredients, steak of course, garlic, butter and parsley. 

Oh another thing, if you are making this steak with a side or these mashed potatoes, or Peruvian fried rice, make sure they’re done around the same time as the steak! Prep the ingredients 

The best way to start this Brazilian steak is to prep prep prep! Clean the parsley dry and chop, same with the minced garlic, get the butter out. Cut the skirt steak into 3 or 4 parts. 

1. Season the steak

Pat the skirt steak dry then season both sides generously with salt and pepper

2. Cook the steak 

In a heavy duty skillet large enough for the steak, heat oil over medium-high heat until it’s very hot.

Sear both sides of the beef (brown both sides) for 2-3 minutes for medium rare or until your desired doneness. I cooked this steak for about 4 minutes on each side. Place steaks to rest on a plate and cover lightly with foil. (pic 1-2)

If you like your steak well done, just cook it longer.  I prefer my steak medium but my family like theirs well done! 

They don’t want to see any red.

3.  Make the garlic butter 

In skillet , melt the butter over low heat then add the garlic. Cook swirling or using a spatula to move the butter and garlic around until lightly golden. Don’t over cook, or the butter and garlic will burn. When I’m in a rush and don’t have time to mince garlic I use this. 

As soon as you see the golden color, it’s done. Pour the garlic butter into a bowl. (pic 3)

4. Finishing up

Slice the steak against the grain. Garnish with parsley and then spoon or pour the garlic butter over the steak serve with a simple salad or a Peruvian Fried Rice (just ditch the chicken it calls for in the recipe or not) and a nice cold Brazilian lemonade or  Tequila Sunrise Mocktail. And there you have it…There’s nothing better than an easy but GOOD Brazilian Steak.

Recipe Notes

Cook Tips 

 

Steak 

When I cut the steak into 3 equal parts I like to cook each side for about 4 mins. 4 equal parts: 3 minutes. 

Do not move the steaks around as they cook. Leave them alone to sear (brown very well). 

 

Garlic

We  love garlic so I used 6 tsp of finely minced garlic. I felt like anything less wasn't as flavorful. Feel free to use less garlic if you like. This is what I use when I don't feel like mincing garlic. 

 

Cutting the steak

Make sure you cut against the grain of the steak. If not, your steak may be tough. Cutting against the grain will make it nice and tender. 

 

Tips to make this steak well done: 

If you like your steak well done, just cook it longer until your desired doneness.

    Hello, my skirt steak recipes always come out so tough however, we are going to give it one last shot using your recipe. It appears by looking at your pictures 1-2 you are curing the meat in strips then pay frying? Is that correct?

      Hi there! Oh no. If you cook the skirt steak until it’s well done, it may become too tough. You can also try tenderizing the steak by pounding it thin. To answer your question yes. I cut it into three equal parts. Once the cooked steak is finish resting I then cut it into strips. Check out the recipe notes for more info! I truly hope it works out for you! Enjoy!

    4 ingredients??? This sounds like my kind of recipe! I am always so intimidated with cooking something other than chicken and ground beef (I know. So basic!!) Need to get out of my comfort zone!!

    It is very difficult to get skirt steak where we live, sadly. Could flank steak be substituted! And how about grilling the steak and using the sauce, which sounds delicious!?

      You sure can! You can totally use flank steak and grill it. That’s actually my other favorite cut of meat! Thank you Laura!

Benne or sesame seeds  were brought to America by West African slaves. They were commonly used to enhance the flavors of foods or used as a thickening agent.  African slaves believed the seeds to be good luck. Benne wafers are a staple dessert for many people in South Carolina and they are often served during Kwanzaa as well. Melt in your mouth, crisp, chewy, nutty and caramelized benne or sesame wafer/cookies are perfect for the holidays. For a more traditional type cookie, leave them plain or make them festive by drizzling them with chocolate sauce. Both ways are equally delicious.
