Delicious Brazillian BBQ

Brazil is a big cattle-producing country in the world and a big beef exporting country. Brazilian barbecue is also a popular food in Brazil.Cattle ranching first appeared in Brazil 400 years ago in the southern Rio Grande do Sul region. These cattle ranchers, called gauchos, created a unique form of barbecue — meat was cooked slowly over wood and seasoned simply with salt. Barbecue culture spread in the 1940s as individuals from Rio Grande do Sul started to open barbecue restaurants throughout Brazil.

Traditionally, Brazilian barbecue meat is cooked slowly over wood embers. However, most modern Brazilian barbecue restaurants, the all-you-can-eat steakhouses, will cook their meat on racks in specially designed metal rotisserie grills. The fattier cuts are usually placed on top, allowing the fat to baste the meats placed below.

The Salt, Sal Grosso

Despite the variety of meats, most Brazilian barbecue is flavored simply with salt. Of course, this isn’t table salt — it’s sal grosso, a coarse rock salt. The texture and flavor of sal grosso accentuates the natural flavor of meat, although the crunchy texture might be strange to the American palate.

There are different schools of thought regarding the timing of the seasoning. Some Brazilian barbecue chefs prefer to salt right before grilling. Others believe the best time is after the meat has been cooked briefly. Some chefs even use a salt-water baste, insisting that this method keeps the meat moist during grilling.

The use of only salt is deliberate — churrascaria is all about maintaining the pure flavor of the meat. However, Brazilian barbecue is more than just beef. Poultry, lamb, and pork also are common and these meats are often spiced and marinaded.

Originally from Argentina and Uruguay, chimichurri is also popular with Brazilian barbecue. Although great with beef, this recipe can also be eaten with any kind of barbecued meat.

Ingredients:

3 cups flat-leaf parsley leaves (from about 3 bunches), very finely chopped (no stems)
