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!

Churrasco Skirt Steak Cuban-Style with Marinade Recipe Recipe - (5/5) image

Provided by kbartell

Number Of Ingredients 19

Beef skirt steak cut in long steaks (about 3/4 pound per person or more)
Cuban Churrasco (Mojo) Marinade
3 heads garlic -- about 30 to 40 cloves
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 and 1/2 cups sour orange juice
(If you can't get sour orange juice in your area, use two parts orange to one part lemon and one part lime)
1 cup minced onion
2 teaspoons oregano
1 cup Spanish olive oil
Cuban Chimichurri Sauce
1 large bunch of cilantro leaves
8 cloves garlic
1/4 cup vinegar
Juice of one lime
2/3 cup olive oil
1/2 cup onion
Dash or two of red pepper flakes
Salt and Pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Mojo Marinade To make the marinade: Mash garlic, salt, and peppercorns into a paste, using a mortar and pestle. Stir in sour orange juice, onion, and oregano. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes or longer. Whisk the garlic-orange juice mixture with the olive oil until well blended. Preparing the Meat Preparing the meat is very easy. Place the meat in a large bowl or pan. Add enough mojo marinade to cover the meat. Place a cover over the bowl or pan and place in the refrigerator a minimum of five hours, but preferably overnight. Chimichurri Sauce While your meat is marinating, make the sauce. We like to make it the easy way. Put everything except the olive oil in a blender and using the "chop" setting, click on and off until you have a thick mixture. Do not over process! This is the kind of dish you need to taste and adjust so that you get just the right flavor! So taste it! (The best way to taste it is with a piece of bread.) Whisk in the olive oil. (If you use the blender to incorporate the oil, the oil and liquids will emulsify, giving your chimichurri a white, paste-like texture.) Add salt, pepper, more vinegar and lime juice as needed. The flavor should be very intense with garlic and cilantro. Don't be stingy with the salt either! Grilling the Meat Grill the marinated steaks outdoors on the barbecue. (Make sure your coals are hot and white!) You can cook them however you like your steak -- from rare to well done. However, the rarer the meat, the more tender and flavorful! Serve the meat with the chimichurri sauce -- it tastes great!

CHURRASCO (GRILLED MARINATED SKIRT STEAK)



Churrasco (Grilled Marinated Skirt Steak) image

Like so many of the best Puerto Rican dishes, churrasco - garlicky wood-fire-grilled steak served with chimichurri - starts by tenderizing a tougher cut of meat (skirt steak) with a flavorful marinade. Although its origins are Argentinian and Brazilian (the word churrasco encompassing grilled meats in both Spanish and Portuguese), variations on the dish are Latin American staples. This recipe kicks up a classic Puerto Rican marinade with a bit of adobo seasoning, and then served with wasakaka, an herbaceous sauce from the Dominican Republic using lime juice. The steak should be grilled over an open fire (the smoke is key), but a gas grill will do, as will a cast-iron skillet. Serve with adobo roasted potatoes, maduros, white rice or arroz mamposteao, plus fresh tomato and avocado slices.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 pounds skirt steak or tri-tip (see Tip)
3 large garlic cloves
1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon white vinegar
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 tablespoon adobo seasoning (preferably Loísa or Badía brands)
2 teaspoons kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal), plus more to taste
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh oregano leaves, finely chopped
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal)
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Pat the steaks dry and place in a large zip-top bag.
  • Combine the garlic, oregano, vinegar, olive oil, adobo seasoning and salt in the bowl of a pilón or mortar and pestle, or a small food processor. Grind into a thin paste, then pour the marinade over the steak. Zip the bag then shake well to coat the meat, rubbing in gently as needed. Let rest on the counter for 10 to 20 minutes, or refrigerate overnight if you have time. Be sure to let the steak come to room temperature before grilling.
  • If using a charcoal grill, start by building a fire with hardwood and kindling, then adding lump hardwood charcoal once the fire is kicking. Allow the fire to mellow. If using a gas grill, set the temperature to 500 degrees.
  • Meanwhile, make the wasakaka: Combine the lime juice, parsley, cilantro, oregano, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper in a small bowl and whisk to incorporate. If you'd like a creamier sauce, blend in a small food processor or blender. (Wasakaka will keep for 3 or 4 days in a sealed jar in the refrigerator.)
  • Once the grill is ready, remove skirt steak from the bag and shake off excess marinade. Place on the grill and sear for 1 to 3 minutes. Using tongs, pull up the corner to ensure the steak has a good dark char, bordering on burned in places, before flipping, then cook for 1 more minute for rare, 2 minutes for medium-rare. Be careful not to overcook or steak will be tough.
  • Remove steak from grill and let rest for 5 to 7 minutes. Slice into strips and pour over wasakaka, or serve sauce on the side. Taste and sprinkle with additional salt, if desired.

Tips for Making Churrasco Grilled Marinated Skirt Steak:

  • Choose the Right Cut of Meat: Opt for skirt steak, flank steak, or hanger steak, as they are suitable cuts for churrasco.
  • Marinate the Steak: Marinating the steak tenderizes it and infuses it with flavor. Use a marinade made with olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Grill the Steak Over High Heat: Preheat your grill to high heat to sear the steak quickly and create a nice crust. Cook the steak for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness.
  • Let the Steak Rest: Once the steak is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful piece of meat.
  • Serve with Chimichurri Sauce: Chimichurri sauce is a traditional Argentinian sauce that complements churrasco perfectly. It is made with fresh parsley, cilantro, garlic, olive oil, and red wine vinegar.

Conclusion:

Churrasco grilled marinated skirt steak is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for a summer cookout or party. With its bold flavors and tender texture, it is sure to be a hit with everyone. So fire up the grill and get ready to enjoy this Argentinian classic!
