Garlic Butter Brazilian Steak is a juicy, flavorful steak seared to perfection and finished with melted garlic butter. Simple ingredients create a rich, indulgent dish with a beautiful crust and tender interior, inspired by Brazilian-style steakhouse flavors.

Ingredients

  • 1.5–2 lbs steak (picanha, sirloin, ribeye, or flank steak)
  • Coarse salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced or finely chopped
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  1. Bring the steak to room temperature and season generously with coarse salt and black pepper.
  2. Heat a heavy skillet or grill pan over high heat and add olive oil.
  3. Sear the steak 3–5 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until a deep crust forms.
  4. Lower heat slightly and add butter and garlic to the pan, spooning the melted garlic butter over the steak for 1 minute.
  5. Remove steak from the pan and let rest for at least 5 minutes.
  6. Slice the steak against the grain and spoon remaining garlic butter over the top. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

  • Add a squeeze of lemon juice to the garlic butter for brightness.
  • Mix in chili flakes or paprika for extra heat.
  • Keep it simple with just salt and garlic butter for traditional Brazilian flavor.
  • Store leftover steak in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat gently in a skillet or microwave at low power.
