Garlic Butter Brazilian Steak

Garlic Butter Brazilian Steak — The Ultimate Weeknight Win!

Ever had one of those days where you just wanna eat something that feels like a big ol’ hug? 🙌 That’s me all the time, honestly. This garlic butter Brazilian steak? It’s my go-to magic when I need something fast but decadent—like, restaurant vibes at home without the wait.

Okay, so here’s the lowdown on how I whipped this up the other night. Picture me in my kitchen, half-distracted by a Netflix show (it was something dramatic, obviously) and thinking, “I need steak.” No, like, I need it now. So I rummaged through my fridge and found this glorious piece of skirt steak just waiting to be transformed.

Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients

So, here’s what you need if you wanna bring this sizzle to your kitchen:

– 6 garlic cloves (the more, the merrier, am I right?)
– Kosher salt (I’m talking a generous sprinkle)
– 1.5 lbs of skirt steak (this cut is everything!)
– Freshly ground black pepper (just do it, it’s way better than pre-ground)
– 2 tablespoons canola oil (or veggie oil if that’s what you’ve got)
– 2 oz unsalted butter (because butter is life)
– 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped, for that pop of color)

Grab these at your local grocery, and you’ll feel like a chef in no time!

So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly

Okay, real talk. I make this recipe all the time because it reminds me of my trip to Brazil last summer. Got a little carried away at a steakhouse where they served this amazing garlic butter sauce right on top of the steak. Like, I’m drooling just thinking about it. So when I got back home, I knew I had to recreate that magic. And let me tell ya, every time I nail this dish, I’m transported back to those sizzling summer nights. Plus, it’s super quick—like lightning fast. I can have it on the table before I even finish my first episode of whatever I’m binging. 😂

The One Trick That Changes Everything

Okay, here’s the pro tip: Don’t skip resting the steak after cooking. I know it’s tempting to just dive in, but if you let it chill for a few minutes, the juices redistribute, and it’ll be like cutting into a juicy cloud of flavor. 🤤 Seriously, patience is a virtue here!

Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)

1. Don’t skimp on the garlic! The more, the merrier. If you’re a garlic lover like me, throw in an extra clove or two.

2. Check the heat! If your skillet’s not hot enough, the steak won’t sear—just a sad, grey piece of meat. No thanks! We want that lovely brown crust.

3. Use a sharp knife for slicing! I’ve tried cutting with a dull one before, and it seriously ruins the moment. You want clean slices, people!

How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)

So, if by some miracle there are leftovers (which is rare), wrap that steak up tight! Use foil or an airtight container in the fridge. It’ll be good for 3-4 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave (but honestly, the skillet is the way to go) so it doesn’t turn rubbery.
