Description
A flavorful and juicy Garlic Butter Brazilian Steak, perfect for any meat lover.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds flank steak
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- Start by patting the flank steak dry with paper towels. This helps to achieve a nice sear.
- In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, paprika, and dried oregano. Rub this spice mixture evenly over both sides of the steak.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until melted and bubbling.
- Add the seasoned flank steak to the skillet and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached.
- While the steak is cooking, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a separate small saucepan over low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Once the steak is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices.
- Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips. Drizzle the garlic butter over the sliced steak and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
Notes
- For a smoky flavor, consider grilling the steak instead of pan-searing it.
- If you prefer a spicy kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the spice mixture or serve with a spicy chimichurri sauce.
