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
- Prep Steak: Cut the skirt steak to fit inside your skillet. Use paper towels to pat the steak dry, then generously season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Cook Steak: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Place the steak in the skillet and brown for 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or cook longer to your preferred doneness. Remove steak and let rest on a plate.
- Make Garlic Butter: In another skillet, melt the butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and stir constantly with a spatula, moving the garlic pieces around until they turn lightly golden. Remove immediately to avoid burning and pour into a bowl.
- Slice and Serve: Slice the rested steak against the grain. Pour the golden garlic butter over the sliced steak, garnish with fresh chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Patting the steak dry before seasoning helps achieve a better sear.
- Garlic burns quickly; stir constantly and remove from heat as soon as it turns golden.
- Slice steak against the grain for maximum tenderness.
- Serve with rice, mashed potatoes, or veggies for a complete meal.
- Adjust cooking time based on your desired steak doneness.
