Instructions
1. Prepare the steak: Pat the steak dry with paper towels to ensure a perfect sear. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
2. Mix the garlic butter: In a small bowl, combine softened butter, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and well blended. This mixture is the secret to that rich, Brazilian-inspired flavor.
3. Cook the steak: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. If your pan isn’t non-stick, add a light drizzle of oil. Once hot, place the steak in the skillet and sear for 4–6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or 6–8 minutes per side for medium.
4. Add the magic: Remove the steak from the heat and immediately spread the garlic butter on top. Let it melt into the meat, coating it beautifully.
5. Rest and serve: Allow the steak to rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing against the grain. This step keeps the meat juicy and tender.
