BRAZILIAN STEAKHOUSE …. Simply delicious!
Bon Appetite!
If there are two things I love about food Brazil style, they are steak and cheese bread (Pao de Queijo).
There is something about Brazilian Steak; it’s meaty, tender, juicy, oozing with right amount of food, and perfectly grilled and charred. It’s so delicious!
The original steak recipe from Brazil

- Position rack in center of barbecue; preheat gas or charcoal grill to 350°F (180°C). Brush grill with oil to season.
- If refrigerated, allow the steaks to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes prior to cooking
- Season steak on both sides with salt and pepper. Rub half of the chimichurri sauce over the steak.
- Place steak angled on hot grill for 2 minutes, flip for 2 minutes, turn and flip 90° for 2 minutes, flip to finish 2 minutes.
