Churrasco Steak Burger Recipes

Steps:

• For the marinade: In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the grapeseed oil, garlic, onions, oregano and orange juice. Add the steaks and marinate for 24 hours in the refrigerator to flavor and tenderize the meat.
• For the chimichurri: In a bowl, combine the garlic, lime zest and juice, cilantro, parsley, oregano, vinegar, chile flakes, olive oil and some salt and pepper. Mix well, then cover and refrigerate overnight to allow the flavors to bloom.
• Lightly sprinkle the steaks with salt and pepper and place them on a very hot grill for 3 minutes on each side. Remove the steaks to a plate to rest. Top with butter and lime juice to build flavor.
• Plate each steak with 1 cup of the white rice; spoon some chimichurri over the steaks. Serve with the remaining chimichurri on the side.

Steps:

• Whisk garlic, balsamic vinegar, grill seasoning, oregano, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl. Add steak and toss to evenly coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until sizzling; add meat. Cook uncovered until liquids have drained from the steak, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium; cover.
• Cook steak for 15 minutes; uncover and flip. Add water to the skillet as needed to keep steak moist. Continue cooking until slightly firm, hot, and lightly pink in the center, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Transfer meat to serving plate; reserve liquid in the skillet.
• Place onion in the skillet with reserved liquids; cook and stir until softened, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low; add mushrooms. Cook and stir until mushrooms are warmed through, about 5 minutes. Pour onion mixture over steak.

Steps:

• Pat the steaks dry and place in a large zip-top bag.
• Combine the garlic, oregano, vinegar, olive oil, adobo seasoning and salt in the bowl of a pilón or mortar and pestle, or a small food processor. Grind into a thin paste, then pour the marinade over the steak. Zip the bag then shake well to coat the meat, rubbing in gently as needed. Let rest on the counter for 10 to 20 minutes, or refrigerate overnight if you have time. Be sure to let the steak come to room temperature before grilling.
• If using a charcoal grill, start by building a fire with hardwood and kindling, then adding lump hardwood charcoal once the fire is kicking. Allow the fire to mellow. If using a gas grill, set the temperature to 500 degrees.
• Meanwhile, make the wasakaka: Combine the lime juice, parsley, cilantro, oregano, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper in a small bowl and whisk to incorporate. If you'd like a creamier sauce, blend in a small food processor or blender. (Wasakaka will keep for 3 or 4 days in a sealed jar in the refrigerator.)
• Once the grill is ready, remove skirt steak from the bag and shake off excess marinade. Place on the grill and sear for 1 to 3 minutes. Using tongs, pull up the corner to ensure the steak has a good dark char, bordering on burned in places, before flipping, then cook for 1 more minute for rare, 2 minutes for medium-rare. Be careful not to overcook or steak will be tough.
• Remove steak from grill and let rest for 5 to 7 minutes. Slice into strips and pour over wasakaka, or serve sauce on the side. Taste and sprinkle with additional salt, if desired.

Steps:

• Rub a generous amount of salt and pepper into both sides of the steaks. Rub the onion powder into the steaks, dividing it evenly. Put the steaks into a baking dish or container that holds them comfortably. Sprinkle the vinegar over the steaks and brush them with the olive oil. Marinate the steaks at room temperature for up to 30 minutes or refrigerate for up to 2 days. Heat a gas grill to medium-high or heat a large grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the steaks, turning only once, to desired doneness. Remove from the grill and let rest 5 minutes. If desired, slice the steaks thinly against the grain before serving. Drizzle some of the chimichurri over the steaks and pass the rest separately. ;
• In a food processor, pulse the parsley and garlic until finely chopped. Scrape into a bowl and stir in the olive oil and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the red pepper flakes, if using, for a spicy chimichurri.

Steps:

• Pound filet mignons with mallet to 1/8-inch thickness. Season with salt and pepper and quickly grill on both sides. Serve with Green Chimichurri Sauce and Argentinean Fries.
• Add salmuera, oregano, parsley, garlic, and olive oil to food processor and pulse about 20 seconds. Add spices and white vinegar and pulse again. Transfer to bowl. Stir in red wine vinegar and fold in roasted peppers.
• Cut the potatoes into sticks 1/4 inch wide and about 3 inches long. Dry with paper towels.
• Heat oil in saucepan to 350 degrees F. Fry the potatoes in batches until lightly colored but not brown, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove to a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with remaining potatoes.
• Into a large bowl, put the parsley and garlic. Transfer to a jar and cover with olive oil.
• Increase oil temperature to 375 degrees F. Fry the potatoes in batches until they are golden brown and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain on fresh paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and toss with some parsley-garlic mixture. Toss and serve immediately.

Steps:

• For the chimichurri sauce: In a blender, add the parsley, cilantro, garlic, lime juice and oil and blend until almost smooth.
• Cover the skirt steak with the chimichurri sauce and marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
• For the arroz con gris: Soak the black beans in water overnight. Strain the beans, reserving the liquid.
• In a saucepot, saute the onions, garlic, peppers, pancetta and cumin over medium heat until the onions are translucent and the pancetta has rendered all its fat. Add the rice and toast, making sure to coat all the rice with the fat. Add the reserved black bean water and black beans and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Add the bay leaf and cook, covered, until the liquid has evaporated and the rice is cooked.
• To serve: Place a grill pan over medium heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Grill the steak to desired doneness. When the steak is almost done, fry the quail eggs sunny-side up.
• Cut the steak into 4 servings and top with the Guacamole. Serve the arroz con gris topped with the fried eggs alongside.
• Mash the avocados, add the tomatoes, cilantro, lime juice and oil and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Cut the fillet, jelly-roll fashion, into a wide, flat steak. Separate into serving portions (how many pieces will depend on how the steak "unfolds"). Place the parsley, garlic, olive oil and oregano in a food processor. Puree. Season with salt and pepper. Combine the parsley marinade and the steaks in a wide, shallow bowl. Cover and marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes. Grill steaks. Serve rare.;
