A tender, juicy steak marinated in garlic and olive oil, grilled to perfection, and topped with a rich garlic butter sauce for an irresistible flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Steak:
    • 1 ½ to 2 pounds flank steak (or Picanha)
    • 4 tablespoons olive oil
    • 4 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
    • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • For the Garlic Butter:
    • ½ cup unsalted butter
    • 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
    • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
    • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or rosemary, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  • Marinate the Steak: In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Rub the mixture evenly over the steak. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  • Prepare the Garlic Butter: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add minced garlic and fresh herbs. Stir and cook gently until the garlic is fragrant (2–3 minutes). Be careful not to brown the garlic. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Preheat the Grill: Heat a charcoal or gas grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are hot and glowing. For a gas grill, preheat for 10–15 minutes.
  • Grill the Steak: Place the marinated steak on the hot grill grates. Cook for 4–5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 4–5 minutes for medium-rare doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature:
    • Medium-rare: 135°F
    • Medium: 145°F
    • Well-done: 160°F
  • Rest the Steak: Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5–10 minutes. This step allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring the steak remains juicy and tender.
  • Slice and Serve: Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips. Drizzle the warm garlic butter generously over the sliced steak. Garnish with extra chopped parsley for a fresh pop of color and flavor.

Notes

  • For the best results, let the steak rest after grilling to keep it tender and juicy.
  • You can substitute rosemary or thyme in the garlic butter, or use a combination of both herbs for extra flavor.
