Churrascos are a popular style of grilled meat, particularly in Latin America. The term often refers to beef cuts, but it can also include pork, chicken, and other meats. Typically, the meat is seasoned simply with salt and cooked over an open flame or hot coals, which gives it a distinct smoky flavor.
In many cultures, especially in Brazil and Argentina, churrascos are often served at social gatherings and barbecues, known as churrascarias. These events emphasize communal dining, where various cuts of meat are served on skewers and sliced directly onto diners' plates, creating a festive and interactive eating experience.
