Ingredients
-
2 lbs skirt steak
-
Salt & pepper to taste
-
6 tsp garlic, minced
-
6 tbsp butter
-
1/2 cup chopped parsley
-
1–2 tbsp olive oil for searing
Instructions
-
Cut the skirt steak into portions that fit your skillet. Pat dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
-
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until hot. Sear the steak for 2–3 minutes per side for medium-rare or until desired doneness. Remove from pan and let rest.
-
In a separate skillet, melt butter over low heat. Add minced garlic and stir frequently until golden (about 1–2 minutes). Be careful not to burn it!
-
Remove garlic butter from heat and immediately transfer to a bowl to stop cooking.
-
Slice steak thinly against the grain. Drizzle with garlic butter, sprinkle with parsley, and serve hot.
Notes
Skirt steak cooks fast—don’t walk away from the pan!
For a smoky twist, add a pinch of smoked paprika to the garlic butter.
This steak pairs perfectly with mashed potatoes, rice, or a fresh green salad.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
