Easy Garlic Butter Brazilian Steak 🍽️🧄🥩
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless sirloin or ribeye steaks
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 6 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions:
1. Begin by taking your steaks out of the refrigerator to allow them to come to room temperature, which helps them cook evenly. This usually takes about 30 minutes.
2. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, unsalted butter, chopped parsley, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the steaks in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. You may have to cook them in batches depending on the size of your skillet.
4. Cook the steaks for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting the time to your desired doneness. Use tongs to flip the steaks, ensuring they develop a beautiful crust.
5. Once the steaks are almost finished cooking, lower the heat to medium and add the garlic butter mixture to the skillet. Spoon the melty garlic butter over the steaks for the last minute of cooking, enhancing the flavor and adding richness.
6. Remove the steaks from the skillet and allow them to rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes. This step is crucial as it helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat, keeping it tender and juicy.
7. Just before serving, drizzle a little lemon juice over the steaks for a bright and fresh finish. Slice against the grain and serve immediately with your favorite sides. Enjoy this easy, flavorful dish that’s sure to impress!
