CHURRASCO (ARGENTINE GRILLED MEAT MARINADE )
This is a marinade for the churrasco dish. In Argentina, where this style of cooking developed, "churrasco" actually refers to many types of meats prepared on the grill. It's also popular with Nicaraguans. The churrasco cut steak is a long flat cut of skirt steak, cut from the "plate" of the cow. You might find it sold at some butcher shops as a "plate" steak. Don't confuse it with the flank steak, a similar cut, but NOT the same! The churrasco steak is typically marinated to make it tender and full of flavour. Serve topped with Recipe #456210. I did not include marinating time. Enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef. Skirt steak, flank steak, or tenderloin are all great options for Argentine marinade.
- Make sure the beef is thinly sliced. This will help the marinade penetrate the meat more easily.
- Use a flavorful marinade. The marinade should contain a combination of acids, oils, and spices.
- Marinate the beef for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours.
- Cook the beef over high heat. This will help to sear the meat and lock in the juices.
- Serve the beef with your favorite sides. Chimichurri sauce, grilled vegetables, and mashed potatoes are all great options.
