Garlic butter Brazilian Steak – the most tender and juicy steak with a garlic butter sauce that’s out of this world good! And it only takes 15 minutes to make!
6tsp minced garlicAdd half if you like a less garlic flavor
1/4cup chopped parsley
5tbsp unsalted butter
salt to taste for the butter
Instructions
Cut the steak into 3 or 4 parts. Pat the steaks dry then season both sides liberally with salt and pepper
In a heavy duty skillet large enough for the skirt steak, heat oil over medium-high heat until it’s very hot. Add the steak and sear both sides (brown both sides) for 2-3 minutes until medium rare or cook longer until your desired doneness. I cooked mine for about 4 minutes on each side. Place steaks to rest on a plate and cover with foil.
In a 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.
Pour the garlic butter into a bowl and salt to taste. Slice the steak against the grain. Garnish with parsley and then spoon or pour the garlic butter over the steak. Serve immediately. *See notes.
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.
