Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 lbs skirt steak Known for its rich flavor and tenderness.
- to taste Salt & pepper Used to season the steak.
- 6 tsp garlic, minced Provides the essential flavor for the dish.
- 6 tbsp butter To create the garlic butter sauce.
- 1/2 cup chopped parsley For garnish and fresh flavor.
Instructions
Preparation
- Begin by cutting the skirt steak into manageable pieces that fit well in your skillet. Pat them dry with a paper towel to ensure they sear beautifully. Generously season both sides with salt and pepper.
Cooking
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it’s scorching hot. Place the seasoned steak in the skillet and allow it to brown for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side, until it reaches a medium-rare doneness or your desired level of cooking.
- Once cooked, remove the steak from the skillet and place it on a plate to rest. This step allows the juices to redistribute.
Prepare Garlic Butter
- In another skillet, melt the butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and stir until it starts to turn golden, then remove from heat immediately to prevent burning.
Assembly
- After resting, slice the steak against the grain for optimal tenderness. Drizzle the garlic butter over the slices and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
Notes
For added depth of flavor, marinate the skirt steak in a mixture of garlic, oil, lime juice, and herbs beforehand. Adjust the doneness with a meat thermometer, aiming for 130-135°F for medium-rare. Double the garlic butter if you love sauce, and consider leftovers for steak salads or tacos.
