Churrasco (Argentine Grilled Meat Marinade ) image

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!

Time 10m

Yield 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 heads garlic (about 30 to 40 cloves)
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 cup orange juice
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 cup onion, minced
2 teaspoons oregano
1 cup Spanish olive oil
meat, of choice pounded or cut thin (beef, chicken, pork)

Steps:

  • Mash garlic, salt, and peppercorns into a paste, using a mortar and pestle. Stir in orange juice, lime juice, lemon juice, onion, and oregano. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes or longer. Whisk the garlic-orange juice mixture with the olive oil until well blended.
  • Preparing the Meat: Preparing the meat is very easy. Place the meat in a large bowl or pan. Add enough marinade to cover the meat. Place a cover over the bowl or pan and place in the refrigerator a minimum of five hours, but preferably overnight.
  • Grill the marinated meat outdoors on the barbecue. (Make sure your coals are hot and white!). For the steak - you can cook them however you like your it -- from rare to well done. However, the rarer the meat, the more tender and flavorful!
  • Serve the meat with the Recipe #456210.

I was so impressed with this marinade! I used it on pork chops and they were the best pork chops I've ever had. The marinade was so flavorful and the pork chops were cooked to perfection.

This marinade is a great way to add flavor to grilled meat. I used it on chicken and it was a hit! The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the marinade gave it a nice caramelized crust.
