This Garlic Butter Brazilian Steak is a simple yet flavorful dish featuring a perfectly seared steak topped with a rich garlic butter and fresh parsley. Inspired by Brazilian churrasco traditions, the steak is cooked on the stovetop to a juicy finish, making it ideal for a quick and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Steak

  • 1 lb (450g) beef steak (such as sirloin or ribeye)
  • Salt, to taste

Garlic Butter Topping

  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
  2. Season the Steak: Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Generously season both sides with salt to enhance the natural beef flavor.
  3. Sear the Steak: Heat a heavy skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until very hot. Place the steak in the pan and sear without moving for about 3-4 minutes until a deep brown crust forms. Flip and sear the other side for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare doneness, adjusting time for desired doneness.
  4. Rest and Top: Remove the steak from the skillet and place it on a cutting board. Immediately top the hot steak with a generous spoonful of the prepared garlic butter. Let the steak rest for about 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute and the butter to melt into the meat.
  5. Slice and Serve: After resting, slice the steak against the grain into thin strips. Serve immediately, spooning any melted garlic butter from the cutting board over the slices for extra flavor.

Notes

  • Use high-quality steak cuts for the best flavor and tenderness.
  • Adjust garlic quantity to your taste preference.
  • Letting the steak rest is important to keep it juicy.
  • This method works best with stovetop searing using a heavy pan.
  • For a smoky flavor, you can finish the steak briefly under a broiler or on a grill after searing.
