What is churrasco?
Churrasco is known to be a piece of beef, which is usually thin and cooked on a griddle, over coals, or even directly over the flames.
In many places it is accompanied with French fries, some mashed potatoes, salads with dressings, or rice. In other places, it is accompanied by boiled yucca or cooked potato.
How to make churrasco?
To start, marinate the meat, for that, in a plastic bag with a zip or a bowl mix the oil, the vinegar, the soy sauce, the lemon juice, the mustard, the chopped garlic, the chopped onion, and the dried oregano.
Introduce the meat there and cover it well with the marinade, seal the bag or bowl and let it marinate for at least about 30 minutes. After this time, in a pan or griddle, heat a little bit of oil over medium-high heat and grill the churrasco.
Let it grill for about 4 or 5 minutes on each side depending on the thickness and the desired doneness of the meat. Add salt and pepper to taste, remove from heat, and you can now serve the portions of churrasco.
What to accompany it with?
Instead of marinade, you can accompany this recipe with a good chimichurri, you can also accompany it with some steamed cooked potatoes and a little bit of salt, or with some French fries, you choose.
Tips and recommendations
You can leave the marinade for 30 minutes, and you can even leave it overnight, this way it will take much more flavor.
If the churrasco is frozen, you should let it defrost in the lower part of the refrigerator, and you should never speed up the defrosting process in the microwave, let alone try to grill the frozen meat, this could affect its properties, flavors, and textures.
When it is defrosted, please, dry the excess liquids with an absorbent paper towel.
You should cook the meat at high heat, as if you do it with medium or low heat it will not seal, but will harden instead of staying soft and juicy on the inside.
