Creating Garlic Butter Brazilian Steak is simple when you follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare Marinade: In a bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Whisk until well mixed.
2. Marinate Steak: Place the flank steak in a zip-top bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it’s well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or longer for more flavor).
3. Make Garlic Butter: In a separate bowl, mix softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, and thyme. Set aside.
4. Preheat Grill or Pan: Heat your grill to medium-high heat or heat a skillet on the stovetop over medium-high heat.
5. Add Steak: Remove the steak from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Place the steak on the heated grill or skillet.
6. Cook the Steak: Grill or sear the steak for about 5 to 7 minutes on each side, depending on your preferred doneness. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium.
7. Top with Garlic Butter: During the last minute of cooking, scoop the garlic butter mixture onto the steak, allowing it to melt and infuse flavor.
8. Rest the Steak: Once cooked to your liking, remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.
9. Slice and Serve: After resting, slice the steak against the grain into thin strips for the best texture.
10. Garnish and Serve: Serve the steak with additional garlic butter and lemon wedges for a fresh touch.
