Ingredients
1.5 pounds steak (picanha, ribeye, or sirloin)
4 cloves garlic minced
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
1. Pat the steak dry and season generously with salt and pepper. Let rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.
2. Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet over high heat until shimmering.
3. Sear the steak for 3–4 minutes per side until a golden-brown crust forms. Reduce heat and cook to preferred doneness.
4. Remove the steak and let rest while preparing the sauce.
5. In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant and lightly golden.
6. Stir in chopped parsley, thyme, and optional red pepper flakes. Remove from heat.
7. Slice steak against the grain and pour garlic butter sauce over the top.
8. Serve immediately with your choice of sides.
Notes
Use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness—130°F for medium-rare.
Letting the steak rest after cooking keeps it juicy.
Fresh herbs add flavor and color—don’t skip them if possible.
