This is a marinade for the churrasco dish. In Argentina, where this style of cooking developed, “churrasco” actually refers to many types of meats prepared on the grill. It’s also popular with Nicaraguans. The churrasco cut steak is a long flat cut of skirt steak, cut from the “plate” of the cow. You might find it sold at some butcher shops as a “plate” steak. Don’t confuse it with the flank steak, a similar cut, but NOT the same! The churrasco steak is typically marinated to make it tender and full of flavour. Serve topped with Recipe #456210. I did not include marinating time. Enjoy!
Yeah, these are a tad different. Remember you don’t have to eat them just as steak/burger/patty thingie, You can slap ’em onion buns (Or whatever buns/bread you like) and play around with your fav. condiments if you want. I know someone who actually makes a gravy (of sorts) out of veggie broth. onions, cornstarch and some other odds and ends I’m not sure of and makes his own style of an open face sandwich with mashed taters and wilted lettuce along with this burger and puts his crazy gravy thing on it., I also think he omits most if not all of the mint. I myself am not a mint fan, and usually only use just about 1/3 of what’s called for, and I don’t use the mint garnish. Support Our Cattle Farmers!!

The best way to describe these beans is a spicier version of English baked beans! Haricot beans are cooked in a tomato sauce flavoured with lots of garlic, cumin & paprika. This recipe is for the way I cook it most – the slow cook way – but you can make it easily in a pressure cooker; just reduce the water to a total of 2 litres, add a chicken stock cube & take care with the seasoning. It should only take 45-50 mins in the pressure cooker. If you have any Algerian hot green peppers, this is really nice with 1-2 thrown in half way through! N.B: Time to make doesn’t include overnight soaking of the beans.
