Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs (907 grams) skirt steak
- 6 tbsps (85 grams) butter
- 6 tsps (30 milliliters) garlic, minced
- ½ cup (20 grams) parsley, chopped
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Steak Preparation: Trim the steak to fit the cooking vessel, ensuring uniform size for consistent cooking and elegant presentation.
- Seasoning and Drying: Meticulously pat the meat dry with paper towels, then liberally coat both surfaces with salt and pepper to amplify the meat’s natural flavors.
- Searing Setup: Preheat a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat until it radiates intense cooking energy, creating the ideal environment for developing a caramelized exterior.
- Meat Searing: Carefully introduce the seasoned steak to the scorching skillet, allowing it to form a golden-brown crust for 2-3 minutes per side, adjusting duration based on desired doneness.
- Resting and Butter Preparation: Remove the steak from heat and let it rest while simultaneously melting butter in a separate pan over low heat, creating a silky foundation for the garlic infusion.
- Garlic Butter Finishing: Gently fold minced garlic into the melted butter, stirring attentively to prevent scorching and develop a complex, aromatic flavor profile.
- Plating and Serving: Slice the rested steak against the grain, arrange on a serving plate, generously drizzle with the fragrant garlic butter, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant finish.
Notes
- Maximize Meat Tenderness: Pat steak completely dry before seasoning to create perfect sear and prevent steaming instead of browning.
- Control Cooking Temperature: Use medium-high heat to develop golden-brown crust without burning the meat’s surface.
- Timing is Critical: Sear each side for 2-3 minutes, adjusting based on thickness and desired doneness to prevent overcooking.
- Rest Meat Strategically: Allow steak to rest for 5-7 minutes after cooking, which helps redistribute internal juices and ensures maximum tenderness.
