2. Cooking Directions
- Preheat grill to high (see broiling variation note).
- To prepare churrasco: Combine garlic, hot pepper, oil and salt in a small bowl. Rub the mixture on both sides of steak.
- To prepare molho campanha: Combine hearts of palm, tomatoes, onion, hot pepper, cilantro, vinegar and salt in a medium bowl.
- Reduce grill heat to medium and grill the steak 4 to 6 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board, tent with foil and let rest for 5 minutes. Cut the steak across the grain into thin pieces. Serve with the molho campanha.
Yield: 8 servings
3. Still Hungry?
Molho campanha is a salsa-like sauce served as an accompaniment to churrasco (barbecued meats) in churrascarias, Brazilian barbecued-meat restaurants. Since hearts of palm show up at every salad bar in these restaurants, we've added them to the sauce to give it a tasty twist.
Notes:
Broiling variation
Instead of grilling, in Step 1 position oven rack 6 inches from the heat source and preheat broiler. In Step 4, cook steak on a broiler pan under the broiler until medium-rare, turning once, about 10 minutes total.

TOTALLY WRONG....
monie_eliza - July 3, 2009 11:01:30 AM PSTAs a Brazilian, from south, where the churrasco is really originary from (thanks to our neighbors Argentina and Uruguay), the REAL CHURRASCO is not made with the mix of jalapeno peppers. Don\\'t try to create a recipe with your favorites TEX MEX and tell me this is Brazilian bbq, because is not.
Brazilian bbq is very simple: red meat (usualy filet mignon, tri tip, sirloin, top sirloin), salt and fire. NOT GRILL. The meat is cooked directly in fire. Thanks to the italian and german mix of culture in south of Brazil, more kinds of meat were incorporated, such as chicken and pork.
We don\\'t use sauce in our bbq. Not pepper, not cilantro, not tex mex stuff.7 of 10 found this review helpful.

Not Churrasco - Not Brazilian
Juliet R - July 4, 2009 12:16:34 AM PSTHaving lived in Brazil for five years, I\\'ve prepared my own churrascos, and visited many Brasilian homes and restaurants or churrascarias. Brasilians do not add all that American junk. It\\'s meat and salt/pepper grilled IN the fire not over it and never broiled. To get a good churrasco flavor, lose all the extra American additives to get the real flavor of any meat. The secret is a good rub of the salt

American-Brazilian
lholem - July 3, 2009 10:08:15 PM PSTThis is not close to Brazilian churrasco. Americans always trying to put too much stuff together that loses the flavor of the real meal. Please don\\'t try this recipe if you want real Brazilian churrasco..and the molho campanha is wrong too.
