Description
A flavorful recipe for Garlic Butter Brazilian Steak that combines tender flank steak with a rich garlic butter sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ pounds flank 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 seasoning the flank steak with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika on both sides. Let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- In a large skillet or grill pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat.
- Once the butter is melted and bubbling, add the seasoned flank steak to the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached.
- While the steak is cooking, in a small saucepan, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not browned.
- Once the steak is cooked, remove it from the pan 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 fresh parsley if desired.
- Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
Notes
- For added flavor, marinate the steak in a mixture of olive oil, lime juice, and your favorite herbs for 1-2 hours before cooking.
- Try using different cuts of beef, such as sirloin or ribeye, for a variation in flavor and texture.
