Ingredients

Scale

Steak

  • 2 lbs skirt steak
  • Salt to taste
  • Black 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 into your skillet. Pat dry thoroughly and season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
  2. Cook the steak: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Add a small amount of oil if needed to prevent sticking. Place the steak in the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting time to your desired doneness. Once cooked, transfer the steak to a plate and let it rest for a few minutes to retain juices.
  3. Make garlic butter sauce: In another skillet, melt the butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and gently stir with a spatula until the garlic starts to brown, being careful not to burn it. Remove the skillet from heat immediately and transfer the garlic butter to a bowl to prevent overcooking.
  4. Slice and serve: Slice the rested steak thinly against the grain to maximize tenderness. Pour the garlic butter sauce over the sliced steak, sprinkle with the chopped fresh parsley, and serve immediately for best flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure the garlic is cooked gently to avoid bitterness from burning.
  • Letting the steak rest after cooking helps keep it juicy and tender.
  • Cutting against the grain is key for tender slices.
  • You can substitute skirt steak for flank steak if preferred.
  • Serve with rice, salad, or grilled vegetables for a complete meal.
