Instructions
Creating Garlic Butter Brazilian Steak is simple and rewarding. Follow these steps to achieve a perfectly cooked steak:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, thyme, paprika, salt, black pepper, olive oil, and lemon zest. Mix well until fully incorporated.
2. Marinate the Steak: Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the garlic butter marinade over the steak, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. For best results, marinate overnight.
3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Ensure it’s hot before cooking the steak for optimal searing.
4. Remove from Marinade: Take the steak out of the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
5. Grill the Steak: Place the steak on the grill and cook for about 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on the thickness of the steak. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; it should read 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.
6. Rest the Steak: Once cooked to your liking, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute and enhances the flavor.
7. Slice and Serve: After resting, slice the steak against the grain into thin strips for tender bites. Drizzle any remaining garlic butter over the top for added flavor.
By following these steps, you’ll create an incredible Garlic Butter Brazilian Steak that is sure to impress everyone at the table.
