Brazilian steakhouses are very popular in Houston for serving skewer after skewer of tender and juicy barbecued meat directly to your table on demand. This churrasco or Brazilian barbeque originated as a favorite style of cooking among South American cowboys in the 1800s. It is now a beloved part of the culture and cuisine in Brazil. Meat like chicken, pork, and beef is barbecued slowly on the low flames of an open barbecue grill (churrasqueira) and often prepared with simply salt to release the flavors of the meat.
All-you-can-eat
If you thought it’s all about the flavorful food served at the best Brazilian steak grill restaurants in Houston – it’s also about how food is served! They serve one shaved slice at a time and as much as you can eat at a fixed price. This style of dining is called “rodizio” where you sample an array of different menu items.
Let’s look at some of the other exotic items on the best Brazilian steak grill restaurants’ menus like the desserts they offer. One of the leading Brazilian steakhouses on Westheimer Road in Houston offers a variety of desserts for those with a sweet tooth - papaya cream (fresh fruit that is part of the traditional Brazilian “Crème de papaya.” It is created from blending fresh papaya with vanilla ice cream and adding a little cassis liqueur,) brownie a la mode – (a chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream), cheesecake, crème bule (a layer of custard topped with caramelized sugar,) chocolate mousse cake, tres leche (sponge cake soaked in three kinds of milk), and acai (nutritional fruit from Amazon.)
Poultry delicacies
Many are glad to see the beef industry thrive because an excess of cattle means they encroach on the forests. A herd of cows can create havoc in some of the delicate bio-systems with their grazing and hooves trampling plants. A lot of the customers at Brazilian restaurants ignore the poultry dishes while sitting back to eat the shaved slices of steak slowly and steadily. The fact is that Brazil’s most widely popular meat is not beef but chicken. But, if you like white meat, there are some delicious and unusual options compared to most American fast food chains. You could try chicken breast with bacon, chicken legs, and chicken heart. These go especially well with some of the white wines on display, the way Mabel is perfect with top sirloin steaks.
