How to Grill Brazilian BBQ (Churrasco)

2 February 2009 2,182 views 5 Comments

Since we’ve move to Texas, we’ve had many guests over our home (averaging probably around a guest a week). One popular dinner menu item is when we cook Brazilian BBQ (Churrasco). Many people have never had it before. So, I’ve gotten a couple of requests on how we make it and just decided to do a video while I was cooking for our Superbowl LifeGroup get-to-gether yesterday. It’s SO easy, it almost doesn’t need a video, but you’ll see that in the video. In fact, it’s so easy, you’ll be surprised at how good it taste with little work.

Some of Helpful Tips:

  • Costco does have the best meat. I’ve tried many grocery stores and even Sam’s Club … but Costco’s quality is very good for it’s price
  • The rock salt (ice cream salt) is available at most grocery stores
  • If you are doing ribeyes and tri tip at the same time, try to separate them on your grill. Because there’s more fat in the ribeye (that’s why it tastes so good!), it tends to flare up, so you have to manage your fire. Make sure that it doesn’t char on the outside and it’s not done on the inside. I just cut into the middle of the meat to see if it’s done.
  • A small slice of butter on the ribeye makes it even more tender.
  • As mentioned in the video, my wife makes some mango salsa and you put it on the meat. The citrus taste balances the salt taste on the meat, and tastes pretty good.
  • When serving a lot of people, it’s better to cut it up in smaller pieces and let people take as many pieces as they want, rather than getting a big uncut steak.

Give it a try … it’s easy!

If you’ve had it at our house (and/or had it before), chime in here in the comments and let people know how it tastes! (Facebookers, use Facebook Connect to leave a comment).

    Man, this looks so good. Too bad it would cost a few hundred for such a meal here. I'll watch the video when I get hungry! Joe

    Looks great. I live in Rio de Janeiro and churrasco is a weekly event here in the house. I can’t think of any good that is much better.
