Garlic Butter Brazilian Steak
Ingredients:
1 ½ pounds flank steak
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Lime wedges (for serving)
1. Preheat your grill or a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
2. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Season the flank steak on both sides with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
4. Place the steak on the hot grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
5. During the last minute of cooking, brush the garlic butter over the steak generously.
6. Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
7. Slice the steak against the grain, serve with lime wedges, and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
