Brazil's beaches aren't the only thing that's burning hot

Hi All!

I hope you are enjoying our blog so far, here is another culinary treat from a different culture. Today I will be presenting the Churrasco, A Brazilian restaurant serving of grilled meat, on most occasions beef.



Churrasco, is one of the iconic meals one can have in Brazil, Churrasco is served on a grill skewer for eating and decoration purposes, This allows waiters to come around with the meal and slice it to the customers liking. Churrasco comes from the term 'Churascaria' which is understood to be Steakhouse, - well presenting the idea of being able to show a wide and various styles of being presented makes it a delectable meal with a various number of sides or even being served as a side.


Churrasco is cooked on a barbeque grill, usually slightly charred or medium rare. This is due to the texture of the 'churrasqueira' they cook it on, which is slightly touched with butter / oil to give it a more burnt feel.

Churrasco is well known for being a diving part of south america, as there is no one way to eat it, the various countries in south america love to eat the grilled meat in different styles bringing a cultural factor into play. Churrasco is more renown in Brazil for the style they use making it more popular to cook it the Brazillian way. Ironically this is a great way to traditionally or casually enjoy a grilled meat skewer, the variety the different cultures bring is astounding in changing taste and providing a different feel each time. The many different styles and flavors brought by the different cultures and ways of making the dish can vary from meats, to cooking times and even unique sauces made out of things you would never expect to taste good.

As a personal recommendation, Churrasco is well served with sides including usually an Alcoholic beverage, a supplementary ( Potato Chips, Onion Rings, Black fried beans ) and some picked salad. This adds on to it's unique taste giving the meat the filling required to be classed a meal.



Churrasco isn't the most available dish to find, however if you do find yourself with a choice of picking up one of Brazil's most iconic foods and it's recommended by the store, by all means put your coin on the counter.
