CHURRASCO (ARGENTINE GRILLED MEAT MARINADE )



Churrasco (Argentine Grilled Meat Marinade ) image

This is a marinade for the churrasco dish. In Argentina, where this style of cooking developed, "churrasco" actually refers to many types of meats prepared on the grill. It's also popular with Nicaraguans. The churrasco cut steak is a long flat cut of skirt steak, cut from the "plate" of the cow. You might find it sold at some butcher shops as a "plate" steak. Don't confuse it with the flank steak, a similar cut, but NOT the same! The churrasco steak is typically marinated to make it tender and full of flavour. Serve topped with Recipe #456210. I did not include marinating time. Enjoy!

1/4 cup virgin olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons hot paprika

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon toasted and ground cumin seeds
1 bay leaf, broken in half

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Cut of Meat or Seafood: Select chicken or seafood that is suitable for marinating, such as chicken breasts, thighs, shrimp, or salmon. Thinner cuts will marinate more quickly than thicker ones.
  • Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh herbs, spices, and citrus fruits for the best flavor. Dried herbs and spices can also be used, but they may not be as potent.
  • Make Enough Marinade: Ensure you have enough marinade to cover the meat or seafood completely. A good rule of thumb is to use about 1 cup of marinade for every pound of meat or seafood.
  • Marinate for the Right Amount of Time: The marinating time will depend on the type of meat or seafood and the desired flavor intensity. Chicken and seafood generally require less marinating time than beef or pork.
  • Use a Resealable Bag or Container: Place the meat or seafood in a resealable bag or container to ensure the marinade coats it evenly.
  • Refrigerate While Marinating: Always marinate the meat or seafood in the refrigerator to prevent spoilage.
  • Discard the Marinade: After marinating, discard the marinade to prevent the spread of bacteria.
