churrasco
Brazilian grilled beef
Churrasco is grilled meat, especially beef, in Latin American and Iberian cooking.
The term covers both the cooking method—meat roasted over open flame or hot coals—and the finished dish.
In Brazilian steakhouses, servers carve churrasco tableside from large skewers: We ordered the churrasco platter to share.
