- to taste Salt & pepper Enhances the natural flavors of the beef.
- 6 tsp garlic, minced Adds a robust aromatic foundation.
- 6 tbsp butter Creates a luxurious, rich sauce.
- 1/2 cup chopped parsley Adds color and a hint of herbal brightness.
Instructions
Preparation
- Begin by cutting the skirt steak into manageable pieces that fit into your skillet. Pat the steak dry with paper towels to ensure a nice sear. Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a large skillet, heat some oil over medium-high heat until it’s almost smoking. Carefully place the seasoned steak inside the skillet, allowing it to brown for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
- Once cooked, transfer the steaks to a plate and let them rest.
Making Garlic Butter
- In another skillet, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the minced garlic, stirring gently until it begins to brown and becomes fragrant.
- When the garlic is perfectly golden, remove the skillet from heat and transfer the garlic butter to a bowl.
Serving
- Slice the steak against the grain in thin strips for optimal tenderness. Drizzle the garlic butter over the sliced beef, garnishing with fresh parsley to serve.
Notes
For best results, let your steak come to room temperature before cooking. If you prefer a bit of heat, add red pepper flakes to the garlic butter. Loosely cover the resting steak with foil. Consider swapping parsley for fresh cilantro for a different flavor profile.
