Ingredients

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

  1. Prepare the Steak: Cut the skirt steak to fit your skillet. Pat the steak dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, then season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. Cook the 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 for medium-rare, or longer depending on your preferred doneness. Once cooked, transfer the steak to a plate and let it rest for several minutes to retain juices.
  3. Make the Garlic Butter: In a separate skillet, melt the butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and stir continuously with a spatula until the garlic just begins to brown. Remove the skillet from heat immediately to prevent burning, then transfer the garlic butter to a bowl.
  4. Slice and Serve: Slice the rested steak thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness. Pour the warm garlic butter over the sliced steak, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve immediately to enjoy the rich and vibrant flavors.

Notes

  • Be careful not to burn the garlic in the butter; garlic browns quickly over low heat and can become bitter if overcooked.
  • Letting the steak rest after cooking ensures the juices redistribute, keeping it juicy and tender.
  • Skirt steak is best sliced thinly against the grain to maximize tenderness.
  • For a richer flavor, you may add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the garlic butter before pouring it over the steak.
