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
- Prepare the steak: Cut the skirt steak into pieces that fit your skillet. Pat the meat dry using paper towels, then season both sides generously with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook the steak: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Add the steak pieces and brown them for about 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Once cooked, transfer the steaks to a plate and let them rest, allowing the juices to redistribute.
- Make the garlic butter sauce: In a separate skillet, melt the butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and use a spatula to stir it around continuously until the garlic just begins to brown. Immediately remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the garlic butter to a bowl to prevent burning.
- Slice and serve: Slice the rested steak against the grain to ensure tenderness. Pour the warm garlic butter sauce over the sliced steak, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve immediately while hot and flavorful.
Notes
- Cutting the steak against the grain is crucial for maximum tenderness.
- Be careful not to burn the garlic in the butter—watch it closely and remove from heat as soon as it starts browning.
- Letting the steak rest after cooking helps retain the juices, keeping the meat moist and flavorful.
- Skirt steak cooks quickly; monitor the doneness closely to avoid overcooking.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of garlic or parsley to taste.
