Brazilian Steak
If there are two things I love about Brazilian food, they are Brazilian steak and Brazilian cheese bread (Pao de Queijo).
There is something about Brazilian Steak; it’s meaty, tender, juicy, oozing with right amount of food, and perfectly grilled and charred. It’s so delicious!
15 Minutes Brazilian Steak
This golden Garlic Butter Brazilian Steak recipe is super easy, but yields Fogo de Chao restaurant-quality taste and texture. It calls for five simple ingredients: garlic, butter, parsley, salt and black pepper which you already have at home.
The sweetest thing about this simple recipe is that it takes only 15 minutes. How nice is that?
The flavors are so much more complex than the ingredients used. At first bite, I fell in love with it; it was as if I had the steak at famous Brazilian restaurants.

How To Make Garlic Butter Brazilian Steak
Step 1. Peel the garlic cloves and smash them with the side of a chef’s knife. Sprinkle the garlic lightly with salt and mince it.
Step 2. Pat the steak dry and season generously on both sides with salt and pepper. In a heavy-duty 12-inch (30 cm) skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until shimmering hot. Add the steak and brown well on both sides, about 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium rare. Transfer the steak to a plate and let it rest while you prepare the garlic butter.
Step 3. In an 8-inch (20 cm) skillet, melt the butter over low heat. Add the garlic and cook, swirling the pan frequently, until lightly golden, about 4 minutes. Lightly salt to taste.
Step 4. Slice the steak, if you like, and transfer it to 4 plates. Spoon the garlic butter over the steak, sprinkle with parsley, and serve.

I don’t know where you live,but here in SWFL, OUTSIDE SKIRT STEAK is as much as beef tenderloin!!!!! What else can I use????
You can use any tender part of the beef, for example: beef flap meat. Ask your butcher.
I just use flap meat and it turns out amazing!
How long for medium well? Thanks!
Depends on how thick is your steak.
