Brazilian Steak with a Garlic Herb Marinade

I've not made anything "Brazilian" before, I don't think. I've made chimichurri sauces so that's the closest I've ever gotten. 

This recipe is basically marinading the steak in a chimichurris sauce. Bottom line, this was delicious. I wouldn't recommend marinating longer than 30 minutes as it suggests. I did about an hour and I think the lime juice caused the meat to have a weird texture. 


Brazilian Steak with a Garlic Herb Marinade
Recipe from Hey Grill Hey
Serves 4
  • 2 pounds sirloin steak
  • ¼ c fresh parsley
  • ¼ c fresh cilantro
  • ¼ c avocado oil
  • ¼ c water
  • 2 T lime juice
  • 2 T freshly minced garlic
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

Marinade the steak. Combine the ingredients for the marinade in a small bowl. Pour the marinade over the sirloin steak in a large gallon zip-top bag, reserving 2 Tablespoons of the marinade for later use. Allow the steaks to marinate on the counter for 30 minutes while they come to room temperature.

Preheat the grill. While the steaks are marinating, fire up the grill. Preheat the grill and assemble your rotisserie attachment. If you aren't using a rotisserie, prepare your grill for 2-zone cooking with a high heat side and a low heat side.

Prep the steak. Remove the steak from the marinade and shake off any excess. If you are using kebabs, dice the steak into cubes and thread onto the skewers.

Grill to your desired doneness. Use a basting brush to coat the steak with the reserved marinade. 

Remove the steaks from the grill and allow to rest for several minutes before slicing from the skewers to serve.
