Garlic Butter Brazilian Steak
Beef, Brazil
Ingredients
6 medium cloves garlic
Kosher salt
1-1/2 lb. skirt steak, trimmed and cut into 4 pieces
Freshly ground black pepper
2 Tbs. canola oil or vegetable oil
2 oz. (4 Tbs.) unsalted butter
1 Tbs. chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Directions
Peel the garlic cloves and smash them with the side of a chef’s knife. Sprinkle the garlic lightly with salt and mince it.
Pat the steak dry and season generously on both sides with salt and pepper.
In a heavy-duty 12-inch skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it’s shimmering hot.
Add the steak and brown well on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium rare. Transfer the steak to a plate and let rest while you make the garlic butter.
Melt the butter over low heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until it’s lightly golden, about 4 minutes. Lightly salt, to taste.
Slice the steak, if you like, and transfer to plates. Spoon the garlic butter over the steak, sprinkle with the parsley, and serve.
Notes
Serve with something that would also benefit from a hit of garlic, such as spinach or mashed potatoes.
