Garlic Butter Steak (Printable Version)
Juicy seared skirt steak bathed in golden garlic butter sauce. Ready fast with just a handful of pantry staples.
# What You'll Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
6 tbsp unsalted butter
02 -
2 lbs skirt steak, trimmed
03 -
1/2 cup parsley, finely chopped
04 -
6 tsp minced garlic
05 -
Salt and pepper, as needed
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Season both sides with salt and pepper. Slice the steak to fit nicely in your pan and pat it dry.
02 -
Warm up oil in a big pan over medium-high heat until it’s sizzling. Lay the steak down and get it browned for about 2-3 minutes per side if you like it medium-rare—or cook longer if you prefer. Let the steak rest on a plate afterward.
03 -
On low heat, melt the butter in a clean pan and toss in the garlic. Stir with a spatula until it starts getting golden, then quickly take it off the heat and move it to a bowl. Burnt garlic can sneak up on you—watch closely.
04 -
Cut the steak into slices going against the grain, pour the garlic butter on top, and sprinkle fresh parsley. Serve while everything’s nice and warm.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
This Brazilian-style steak with garlic butter is as tasty as it gets, and you can have it ready in 15 minutes flat.
02 -
Watch out with the garlic—it browns fast and can go from golden to burnt really quickly.
03 -
A helpful tip: let the steak sit at room temp before cooking, and cutting against the grain will make it super tender.
