Brazilian Meat Skewers With Red Chimichurri Sauce
Are you getting into action in Rio as much as I am?! We’re big into the summer games in our house, with swimming, gymnastics and soccer being the big attractions for us. So, in celebration of the games in Rio, I thought I’d share this Brazilian Meat Skewer with Red Chimichurri Sauce recipe!
These Brazilian Meat Skewers are packed with flavor using pork tenderloin and strip steak, marinated with McCormick Grill Mates Brazilian Steakhouse Marinade as the main spice – it’s really amazing!
The Brazilian Meat Skewers, combined with a spicy Red Chimichurri Sauce, makes for an amazing and festive meal to sit down and celebrate this year’s games out in Rio!
But it’s not just Rio that make this a great time to cook up these Brazilian Meat Skewers. McCormick has put together a Flavor Forecast that identifies Bold Brazilian Sauces as an emerging flavor for this summer in their annual report.
I chopped my leftovers into smaller bites and threw them in a corn tortilla topped with the Red Chimichurri Sauce – best leftovers ever! I also used it on a breakfast omelette. If a sauce can make me sweat and my nose run, it’s going on everything!
