This Easy Garlic Butter Brazilian Steak recipe delivers bold, steakhouse-style flavor at home in under 30 minutes. Tender slices of sirloin (or picanha) are seared to perfection, then drenched in a rich garlic butter sauce for a juicy, flavorful finish. It’s quick, low-carb, and impressive enough for dinner parties or a simple weeknight indulgence.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb sirloin steak or picanha, sliced into thick strips
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Optional: Red pepper flakes or smoked paprika, to taste

Instructions

  1. Let the steak sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before cooking.
  2. Pat dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  4. Sear steak strips for 2–3 minutes per side until a crust forms and it reaches your preferred doneness.
  5. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add butter and minced garlic to the pan.
  6. Spoon garlic butter over the steak, allowing the garlic to toast slightly without burning.
  7. Remove steak from the pan and let rest for 5 minutes.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Add herbs like rosemary or thyme to the garlic butter for extra flavor.
  • Use a meat thermometer: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium.
  • Make garlic butter ahead and store in the fridge for quick meals.
  • Resting steak after cooking helps retain juices and enhances flavor.
