Description
A delicious and easy recipe for Garlic Butter Brazilian Steak that is sure to impress.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds flank steak or skirt steak
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
- Lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- Start by bringing the steak to room temperature for about 30 minutes. This helps it cook evenly.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Season the steak on both sides with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
- Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steak and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached.
- Once cooked, remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.
- Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips. Drizzle the garlic butter over the sliced steak and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
- Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
Notes
- For added flavor, marinate the steak in the garlic butter mixture for 1-2 hours before cooking.
- Substitute the flank or skirt steak with ribeye or sirloin for a different taste and texture.
