This month’s new recipe collection brings the bold, vibrant flavors of a Brazilian churrascaria straight to your home kitchen and backyard grill. Think juicy grilled meats, colorful sides, and simple, crowd-pleasing recipes made to be shared.

Whether you’re hosting a backyard cookout or just want to bring something new to the table, The Brazilian Grill is full of recipes that make every meal feel like a celebration. 

The Brazilian steakhouses offer so many delicious meat options. For us, the picahna is one of the best! Perfectly seasoned with simple ingredients, this recipe is so easy to do on your home grill. Serve with chimichurri, a nice salad, and a classic side of your choice, or go all out and make all the yummy accompaniments. 

This is a simple and delicious meat to prepare for a special occasion or company. The toughest part is finding the right cut of meat. Often in the US the sirloin cap is cut into top sirloin steaks. What you will want is this cut of meat before it is cut into top sirloin. I go to a local meat market and ask for the sirloin cap, or top sirloin. Tri-tip is also an acceptable option. The key is getting a nice cut of beef with a good thick layer of fat on it. The result is a juicy flavorful steak that is delicious! 

Grilled Picahna

When searching for the perfect bacon wrapped chicken recipe, I came across this one, from an article interviewing the founder of Texas de Brazil. He graciously shared this amazing chicken recipe, and I was thrilled with the results! Bacon wrapped chicken perfection has now been achieved!

You will find a variety of potato dishes served in a Brazilian steakhouse. I have seen mashed potatoes, scalloped potatoes, and potato salad all in the same Churrascaria! Since this is a menu we are putting together for the month of July, I decided to go with this wonderful potato salad recipe that I got from a friend, who got it from a friend who also got it from a friend… I don’t know where the recipe originated, but thank you to all the friends who shared it. Now I am sharing it with you!

This potato salad recipe gets rave reviews every single time and goes great with barbecue, a hamburger cookout, or as an accompaniment to grilled chicken or a fried chicken picnic dinner. This is one I reach for on a regular basis and I think once you try it, you will too! It’s so easy with few and simple ingredients and requires minimal chopping. Enjoy!

Potato Salad

Fresh herbs, quality olive oil, with a hint of spice - chimichurri is the perfect, mellow, and deeply flavored accent that takes grilled meats up a notch. Don't wait for Brazilian steak night - this is a classic you will want to serve with everything. It makes a wonderful salad dressing as well.

Our family started the tradition of having the Brazilian steakhouse themed dinner for Christmas when we invited in friends that couldn’t tolerate gluten. It’s a meal that has something for everyone and these delectable little breads are made with tapioca flour, so they are naturally gluten free. Loaded with cheese, they are crisp on the outside and pleasantly chewy on the inside.
