A cut made for the grill
Beef churrasco is particularly well suited to cooking over high heat. This cut has natural marbling, a characteristic that helps it remain juicy and contributes flavour during cooking.
It is a practical choice for a mixed grill or barbecue without the need for complicated preparation. Careful cooking and a simple side dish allow the meat itself to remain the focus.
How to cook it
Bring the grill or barbecue up to temperature before adding the meat. Cook the churrasco on both sides and adjust the time to the thickness of the pieces, avoiding leaving it over intense heat longer than necessary.
It can also be cooked on a large, properly heated griddle. After cooking, allow it to rest briefly before serving to help retain its juices.
The product is supplied in a 1 kg tray and vacuum packed.
About Tolecarnes
Tolecarnes is a family-run cattle farm based in Menasalbas, at the foot of the Montes de Toledo, with three generations of experience raising cattle.
Its calves are raised by the farm from birth and spend much of the year grazing freely on its dehesa in the Montes de Toledo. The wetter conditions on the northern side of the mountains provide natural pasture for a large part of the year, allowing the cattle to remain outdoors and active in an open environment.
During winter, when fresh pasture is less abundant, their diet is supplemented with forage collected during the more productive months and with feed produced by Cooperativa Valle de Mena, of which Tolecarnes is a member. This feed is made from plant-based ingredients, giving the farm greater control over the animals' diet.
Tolecarnes oversees the farming process from the birth of its calves through to the sale of the meat, maintaining a traditional approach to cattle farming closely connected to the Montes de Toledo.
