Brazilian Style Steaks With Country Sauce Recipes

BRAZILIAN FLANK STEAK WITH FRESH CHIMICHURRI AND FRIED YUCCA

Steps:

• Marinate the steak with the Worcestershire sauce, pepper and coarse salt.
• Heat a grill or grill pan. Grill the steak to desired doneness. Rest the steak and keep warm for serving.
• In a food processor, combine the cilantro, parsley, olive oil, cumin, lemon juice, a splash of the rice vinegar and some kosher salt. Pulse until just smooth, but still a little bit chunky.
• Preheat a deep fryer to 350 degrees F.
• In a bowl, combine the salt, sugar and chili powder. Fry the yucca until crisped, then drain and toss in the spice mixture.
• Slice the steak, top with the chimichurri and serve with the fried yucca.

BRAZILIAN-STYLE BARBECUED STEAK WITH A GARLICKY MARINADE AND DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Prepare the Chimichurri Rojo, and then pour 2/3 cup of it into a resealable plastic bag and combine with the skirt steaks. (Reserve the rest of the sauce to use as a condiment.) Refrigerate overnight.
• To cook the steaks, prepare a medium-hot grill.
• Remove steaks from the marinade, and grill to desired doneness. (Because they are thin and have been marinated overnight, they will cook very quickly.)
• Divide each steak into two, and place each in the center of a warm plate. Season with salt and pepper, sprinkle chopped olives and minced parsley over each steak. Serve with the reserved Chimichurri Rojo on the side.

BRAZILIAN MARINATED STEAKS WITH CHILE LIME SAUCE

Steps:

• SAUCE: Place the peppers and salt in a mortar and crush them with the pestle or take the less energetic way and process them in a blender or food processor until you have a thick paste.
• Gradually add the onion and garlic and continue to mash into the paste.
• Then add the parsley to the paste, mashing as you do.
• Stir in the lime juice until you have a thick,liquid sauce.
• Cover and let stand at room temperature.(Makes about 1/2 cup).
• *******.
• STEAKS: Place the steaks in a single layer in a large glass or ceramic baking dish.
• Whisk the remaining ingredients together in a bowl and pour over the steaks, turning to coat evenly.
• Cover and refrigerate, turning every couple of hours -- for about 4 hours.
• Preheat the grill. Remove the steaks from the marinade, shaking off any excess, and grill 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until done to taste.
• Transfer to a platter and let the steaks rest, loosely covered with foil, then serve with the chile lime sauce.

Steps:

• Pour 1/2 cup of the chimichurri into a large resealable plastic bag. Add the skirt steaks and marinate overnight in the refrigerator. (Reserve the rest of the chimichurri for serving).
• Prepare a hot fire in a grill. (Prepare the onions while the grill heats.)
