brazilian barbecue

[adsantos13]

I am of Portuguese descent, but most of my family left the country in the 1960's during which time the nation was under the thumb of a fascist dictatorship. My father is an only child, and he ended up here in the US via Sweden, but 95% of his cousins moved to Brazil, which was a former colony and the same language is spoken. Unfortunately, my father is a recluse and isn't close with his family so we don't speak often and I've never gone to Brazil.


And btw, the Portuguese have a footballer named Ronaldo (Cristiano), and he's better that the Brazilian version

Floydpink, does you wife cook Feijoada? I love that stuff

I also believe every single man should visit Brazil at least once before they settle down. My experiences in that country have been unforgettable.

Well, except for my Puerto Rican ex

Honestly, if I ever went to Brazil, there would be a really good chance that I'd never leave

On topic:

There's a really great Brazilian BBQ place called Ipanema Grill down on 1st Avenue near Harbor Steps in Seattle. When I was at Merrill, me & the boys used to go down every Friday @ noon for "Brazilian" and would finish up the afternoon with cigars and drinks on the roof of my buddies apartment building. Good times. Great food!!

Cristiano has a long way to go to beat Ronaldo's (BR) WC goals record. Certainly, he is better right now. Do you think comparing both at their peak Cristiano is better?

Feijoada is great. A lot places around here do it up on the Sundays. The pigs tail and linguica is awesome in it.

anybody try the fogo de chao chain. there's one here in beverly hills, but at $50 a pop, I don't know if I can eat that much in meat. I hear its fantastic though.

That is expensive, but I guess because it's Beverly Hills. No Brazilian is going to pay that! Around here (Boston), $30.00 would be max.

Hard to say but it's probably close, however I am far from an expert on football. I get the notion that Ronaldinho has been slacking since Barcelona won the Champions League a few years back. Mostly though, I was just talking junk

Actually can't wait to get home to watch the games today.

Yum. All this talk about feijoada is making me crazy. Have you ever had the Portuguese version ("Feijoada à Transmontana")? My grandmother used to make it all the time. It was basically the same as the Brazilian version, but she would use red, white, or pinto beans in lieu of black beans.

My girlfriend and I actually went there for dinner this past weekend in Austin.

It was a very good meal. The meats were some of the best I've had. It was expensive, but a rare (excuse the steak pun) treat for us.

Much greater variety of meats at this restaurant versus other Brazilian restaurants that I have been to in the past.

I'd highly recommend it.

sorry for the delay but here it is:

10 Cloves peeled garlic, minced
1/2 cup Chopped Flat Leaf Parsely
1/3 cup Oregano(1/2 c if using Fresh Oregano)
1/2 cup Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
1 cup BOILING Water
1/2 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
1/4 cup Lime Juice(fresh squeezed preferred)
1/2 cup Olive Oil
Kosher Salt and Pepper to taste
3lbs of Skirt Steak/Flank Steak/Tri Tip/London Broil

In a mixing bowl combine all the ingredients except for the meat, stir well and let cool completely. Salt-n-Pepper the meat and place into ziploc bag or container with tight sealing lid. When liquid is cooled, pour generously over the meat and seal. Refrigerate for atleast 10hrs(less for Skirt Steak- 2-4 hrs). Grill the steaks and use the marinade as a baste. Top your meat with a chunky tomato salsa.
This is a SPICEY MARINADE

I was in the unfortunate position of going to the market to help pick up the ingredients for a traditional feijoada/ caiparina Saturday meal and was turned off for life after seeing what "traditional" ingredients are included.
