Why You’ll Love This Garlic Butter Brazilian Steak

This recipe hits all the right notes if you’re juggling a busy schedule and aiming to serve something delectable. It’s quick enough for a weeknight dinner yet elegant enough to impress guests. Plus, the combination of garlic and butter creates a luxurious sauce that elevates the robust flavors of the steak, making it a dish that feels special without any fuss.

Ingredients

Before we dive into the sizzle-fest, let’s gather what you need for this culinary adventure:

2 pounds sirloin or flank steak
4 tablespoons butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped (for that pop of color)
Salt and pepper to taste

Make sure to have everything prepped—this dish comes together faster than you can say, “What’s for dinner?”

Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Steak

Start by patting your steak dry with paper towels and seasoning both sides generously with salt and pepper. This is the secret to enhancing that savory flavor profile.

Step 2: Get It Sizzling

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. When it’s shimmering (and you can almost hear the sizzle), place the steak in the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare (adjust depending on your preference).

Step 3: Make That Garlic Butter Sauce

While your steak is searing away, let’s create that oh-so-delicious garlic butter sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add in the minced garlic and soy sauce, stirring constantly until the garlic is fragrant (about 1-2 minutes). Keep an eye on it; burnt garlic is not your friend!

Step 4: Add Flavor and Finish

Once your steak is cooked to perfection, lower the heat to medium and pour that buttery garlic goodness over the steak in the skillet. Let it bathe in that flavor for a minute or two before removing from heat.

Step 5: Slice and Serve

Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for about 5 minutes—this helps keep it juicy (because no one likes a dry steak!). Then, slice it against the grain and drizzle with the leftover garlic butter. Garnish with fresh parsley if you’re feeling fancy.

Cooking Tips

Don’t fret if your sauce looks a bit “rustic.” That’s just the garlic showing off a little character!
Use a meat thermometer if you want precision: 130°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium.
If you have leftovers (which you probably won’t!), they make a fabulous steak salad the next day.

A Personal Touch

You know, this Garlic Butter Brazilian Steak holds a special place in my heart. I first made it while trying to impress my sister, Patricia.

It’s these little culinary adventures that remind me that cooking is all about love, laughter, and maybe a bit of smoke now and then.

FAQs

Can I substitute butter with olive oil?
If you’re looking for a healthier option, you can! Just keep in mind, the butter adds a creaminess that olive oil can’t quite replicate.

How can I store leftovers?
Keep any leftover steak in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet to keep it juicy!
