Scale
Steak
- 2 lbs skirt steak
- Salt & pepper to taste
Garlic Butter Sauce
- 6 tsp garlic, minced
- 6 tbsp butter
- 1/2 cup chopped parsley
Instructions
- Prepare Steak: Cut the skirt steak to fit your skillet. Pat it dry with paper towels, then season both sides generously with salt and pepper for maximum flavor.
- Cook Steak: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with a small amount of oil until very hot. Add the steak and sear each side for about 2-3 minutes to achieve medium-rare. Adjust the time if you prefer your steak more or less done. Once cooked, place the steak on a plate and let it rest for a few minutes to retain juices.
- Make Garlic Butter: In a separate skillet, melt the butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and stir with a spatula consistently until the garlic turns lightly golden brown. Remove the skillet from heat promptly to avoid burning the garlic and transfer the garlic butter mixture to a bowl.
- Serve: Slice the rested steak thinly against the grain for tenderness. Pour the warm garlic butter over the sliced steak, garnish with fresh chopped parsley, and serve immediately for a savory and aromatic dish.
Notes
- Resting the steak after cooking is crucial to keep it juicy.
- Slicing against the grain ensures a more tender bite.
- Watch the garlic carefully when browning to prevent bitterness from burning.
- Use fresh parsley for the best flavor and color contrast.
- For a spicier variation, add crushed red pepper flakes to the garlic butter.
