About Brazilian BBQ
A churrascaria is a Brazilian or Portuguese
steakhouse.
A churrascaria is a place where meat is cookedin churrasco style, which translates roughly fromthe Portuguese for 'barbecue'.
Churrasco is a Portuguese term referring to a thickcut of steak. At The Grill from Ipanema you will findchurrasco prepared in the traditional Brazilian style.Our "chefs" or "passadores" cook the meat on ouropen pit fire, the churrasqueira.
Churrasco
In the early 1800's, European immigrants settled in theRio Grande do Sul area of Brazil. They were strong andskillful people who treasured and nurtured the landand quickly became adept at rising and herding cattleimported from Cabo Verde. The settlers, our ancestors,became known as Gauchos.
The Gauchos
The traditional way of cooking Brazilian BBQ is to cut slices of
meat. You then rub coarse salt all over it. Many believe that thetaste of the BBQ comes from the salt, meat, and smoke from thefire.
After letting the meat sit for about 30 minutes soaking in thesalt and the flavor, it is then skewered and put over a fire.Depending on the thickness of the meat and how far it is fromthe fire, you need to rotate it every now and then to cook itevenly.
The skewers mimic how a sword looks like without the sharpedges. You can even put more than one meat on one skewer.One tip in cooking the meat is to have fattier cuts on top sotheir juices and flavor drip down to the bottom cuts.
