Churrasco - Grilling Brazilian Style

Churrasco-style grilling, as the Brazilian cattle herders originally ate, is a very traditional and simple way of grilling. What makes it special is the choice of meat. Of course, the Brazilian cattle herders knew which meat is best suited.

The Skewers

The characteristic feature of Churrasco-style grilling is the skewers on which the grillable items are placed and cooked. There are different types: double skewers, long and short, as well as wide and narrow skewers. Depending on the type, size, and texture of the meat, different skewers are used.

The Grillable Items

Originally, of course, the cattle herders grilled beef. They used fine filet pieces with a fat edge, which gives it the special flavor. Naturally, every type of meat, fish, and even minced meat and sausages can be grilled on skewers. A butcher will also have a personal recommendation on which piece of meat he recommends for preparation in the Churrasco tradition. As always, everyone grills what they like. Of course, vegetarian recipes with vegetables, cheese, or any other meat alternatives are also conceivable. Spices can be used as desired.
