1. Prepare the Steak

• Season both sides of the skirt steak generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Let the steak rest at room temperature for 20–30 minutes to allow the seasoning to penetrate.

2. Heat the Pan or Grill

• Preheat a heavy skillet, grill pan, or outdoor grill over high heat.
• If using a skillet, drizzle a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.

3. Cook the Steak

• Place the steak on the hot surface and sear for 3–5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Adjust cooking time for your preferred doneness.
• Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature:
  • Rare: 120–125°F
  • Medium-Rare: 130–135°F
  • Medium: 140–145°F
• Once cooked, transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes.

4. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce

• In a small saucepan or skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
• Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
• Stir in the chopped parsley and cook for another 30 seconds. Remove from heat.

5. Slice and Serve

• Using a sharp knife, slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.
• Drizzle the garlic butter sauce generously over the steak.
• Garnish with additional parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
