Juicy, tender steak infused with bold garlic and buttery richness — a classic Brazilian favorite that’s simple to make and packed with flavor. Perfect for dinner or a weekend cookout!
Ingredients (Serves 4):
• 1.5 lbs flank steak or sirloin, sliced against the grain
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• Lime wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions:
Prepare the Steak:
Season the steak generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Make Garlic Butter:
In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté gently until fragrant and golden (about 2 minutes). Remove from heat.
Cook the Steak:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the steak slices and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until desired doneness.
Finish with Garlic Butter:
Pour the garlic butter over the steak in the last minute of cooking, spooning it over the meat to soak in the flavor.
Serve:
Transfer steak to a plate, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve with lime wedges if desired.
