Churrasco style grilling, Brazilian, as the cattle herders originally ate, is a very traditional and simple way of grilling. What makes it noble is the choice of meat. The Brazilian cattle herders knew, of course, which meat is best suited.

The spit

The characteristic of Churrasco style grilling are the spits on which the food is put and cooked. There are different versions: Double spits, long and short spits, and wide and narrow spits. Depending on the type, size and texture of the meat, different skewers are used.

The grilled food

Quite originally, the cattle herders grilled beef, of course. For this purpose, they used fine pieces of fillet with a fat edge, which gives the special taste. Of course, you can grill any meat, fish and even minced meat and sausages on skewers. A butcher will also have a personal recommendation which piece of meat he recommends for preparation in the Churrasco tradition. As always, everyone grills what they like. Of course, vegetarian recipes with vegetables, cheese or all other meat alternatives are also conceivable. Spices are possible according to desire and mood.
