Prepare the Steak:

• Cut steak to fit into your skillet. This ensures even cooking and allows the steak to sear properly.
• Pat dry and season with salt, and pepper on both sides. This removes excess moisture, allowing the steak to sear properly and develop a flavorful crust.

Sear the Steak:

• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until very hot. This creates a hot surface for searing the steak, ensuring a flavorful crust and proper cooking.
• Add the steak and brown both sides for about 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or cook until desired doneness. This ensures a flavorful crust and proper cooking, resulting in a tender and juicy steak.
• Note: To check the doneness of the steak, use a meat thermometer. For medium-rare, the internal temperature should reach 130-135°F (54-57°C). This ensures the steak is cooked to your desired level of doneness. Place steaks on a plate and let rest. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.

Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:

• In another skillet, melt butter over low heat. This prevents the butter from burning and ensures a smooth, even sauce.
• Add in the minced garlic. With a spatula, stir garlic around until it starts to brown. This releases the garlic’s aromatic oils, creating a fragrant and flavorful sauce.
• Remove it from heat and transfer it to a bowl immediately. This prevents the garlic from overcooking and burning, ensuring a flavorful sauce. Careful not to overcook it will burn fast.

Assemble and Serve:

• Slice steak against the grain. This ensures a more tender bite, as skirt steak has long muscle fibers.
• Pour over garlic butter. This coats the steak with the flavorful sauce, enhancing its taste and texture.
• Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately. This adds freshness and visual appeal, creating a beautiful and delicious dish.
