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.
What Cut Of Meat For Brazilian Steak
You can make this recipe from various cuts of meat: skirt steak, flank steak or flap meat. Those are the tender parts of the beef.

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 will be using a tender steak tonight like Scotch Fillet, not Skirt or Flank, which need to be marinated first as they are known to be tough. And I definitely will be using Olive Oil which is delicious with steak, not vegetable oil. It should turn out amazing! Stay tuned.
I used steak tips instead of skirt steak, and olive oil instead of veg. oil. AMAZING. Fit for a 5 star restaurant. This recipe is a real keeper.
This is fabulous! My family loved it and its so easy! We cooked it on the BBQ.
The meat was tough because you probably over cooked it, didn’t slice it against the grain. If you get flap meat, the meat will definitely be tender like the pictures.
Whats flap meat?
Ask your butcher they will get them for you. :)
