Description
A flavor-forward take on skirt steak that sears quickly and finishes with a rich garlic-butter glaze. Perfect for weeknight grilling or casual cookouts.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs skirt steak
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 6 tsp garlic, minced
- 6 tbsp butter, softened
- 1/2 cup chopped parsley
Instructions
- Pat the skirt steak dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
- In a bowl, blend the softened butter with the minced garlic until well combined. Stir in half the chopped parsley and reserve the rest for garnish.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Place the skirt steak on the hot grill and cook for 4–5 minutes on the first side without moving it, then flip it and grill for another 4–5 minutes for medium-rare.
- During the last minute of grilling, brush the steak generously with the garlic butter mixture.
- Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5–10 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
- Serve the sliced steak on a platter, spoon any remaining garlic butter over the top, and garnish with the reserved parsley.
Notes
For additional flavor variations, consider adding smoked paprika or fresh rosemary to the garlic butter.
