Churrasco is characterized by its smoky, savory, and intensely meaty flavors. The simplicity of the preparation highlights the quality of the beef, pork, lamb, and chicken.
The primary flavor profile is derived from the natural taste of the meat, enhanced by salt. Coarse salt is typically the only seasoning used. The cooking process over charcoal or wood imparts a distinct smoky flavor. The different cuts of meat offer a range of textures and fat content, contributing to the overall flavor experience. For example, picanha (rump cap) is prized for its rich, fatty flavor.

Meat Selection
Choose high-quality cuts of meat with good marbling for optimal flavor and tenderness. Popular cuts include picanha, alcatra (top sirloin), and fraldinha (flank steak).
Salting Technique
Use coarse salt liberally to season the meat. Apply it shortly before grilling to avoid drawing out moisture. Some prefer salting the meat hours in advance, which requires careful salt amount control.
Grilling Temperature
Maintain a consistent grilling temperature to ensure even cooking. Use indirect heat for larger cuts and direct heat for searing. Control flare-ups to prevent burning the meat.
Resting the Meat
Allow the meat to rest for a few minutes after grilling before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful cut.
