Brazilian Skirt Steak with Golden Garlic Butter

Trying new and different dish today! For a couple of months, I’ve been cooking Filipino dishes and upon searching for other recipes. I thought about doing a different dish that is easy, delicious and affordable.

I really love finding myself to try something new and challenge myself to make a difference. The truth is after I tried this recipe I felt like I didn’t achieve the right outcome in the recipe especially the cut of beef. On the other hand, it came out very well. It’s not really the same on the recipe I followed, but I feel the substitution I made is perfect and makes a new kind of recipe. So in short, I consider it my “Do it yourself” recipe.

The important thing about the beef, make sure it’s well cooked. What I meant is, it is easy to chew and depends on your taste if well done or medium, etc. I partnered it with steam broccoli and soup based corn, beans, and carrots. It’s supposed to be corn, beans, and carrots stir-fry in butter but the corn in can I got is soup based so I just cooked it together and put a little salt so that the taste will come out.

Ingredients

• 6 medium cloves garlic

• Kosher salt

• 1-1/2 lb. skirt steak, trimmed and cut into 4 pieces

• Freshly ground black pepper

• 2 Tbs. canola oil or vegetable oil

• 2 oz. (4 Tbs.) unsalted butter

• 1 Tbs. chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Preparation

1. Peel the garlic cloves and smash them with the side of a chef’s knife. Sprinkle the garlic lightly with salt and mince it.

2. Pat the steak dry and season generously on both sides with salt and pepper.

3. In a heavy-duty 12-inch skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until shimmering hot.

4. Add the steak and brown well on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium rare.

5. Transfer the steak to a plate and let rest while you make the garlic butter.

6. In an 8-inch skillet, melt the butter over low heat. Add the garlic and cook, swirling the pan frequently, until lightly golden, about 4 minutes. Lightly salt to taste.

7. Slice the steak, if you like, and transfer to 4 plates.

8. Spoon the garlic butter over the steak, sprinkle with the parsley, and serve.
