Grilled steak served with a tangy chimichurri sauce.

Why try it?

Churrasco reflects Miami's Argentine influence, loved for its simplicity and bold flavors. It's a celebration of grilling traditions enriched by South American culture.

How it tastes

The steak is juicy and rich, complemented by the bright, herbaceous notes of chimichurri sauce which cuts through the meat's fattiness with a citrusy zest.

Origin & History — first documented: 1950

Churrasco, while originally from Latin America, gained popularity in Miami around the 1950s with the influence of Argentine immigrants. The chimichurri sauce, rooted in gaucho tradition, enhances the rustic appeal of the dish.
