Ingredients
- 2 lbs skirt steak
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- 6 tsp garlic, minced
- 6 tbsp butter
- ½ cup chopped parsley
Directions
1. Prepare the steak:
Cut the skirt steak into portions that will fit comfortably in your skillet. Pat the steak dry with a paper towel and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Sear the steak:
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until it’s very hot. Add the steak to the skillet and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer your steak more well-done. Once the steak is cooked to your desired doneness, transfer it to a plate and let it rest for a few minutes.
3. Make the garlic butter sauce:
In a separate skillet, melt the butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and stir with a spatula. Cook the garlic just until it begins to turn golden brown, then remove from the heat to avoid burning. Transfer the garlic butter sauce to a bowl for serving.
4. Slice and serve:
Slice the steak against the grain for the most tender bite. Pour the garlic butter sauce over the steak and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Recipe Tips:
- Searing the Steak: Make sure your skillet is very hot before adding the steak to get a good sear. This will give the steak a beautiful crust while keeping the inside juicy.
- Resting the Steak: Let the steak rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute. This helps keep the steak moist and flavorful.
- Garlic Butter Sauce: Watch the garlic carefully as it cooks in the butter. It should turn golden but not burn, as burned garlic can taste bitter.
