Ecuadorian Churrasco | Traditional Ecuadorian Grilled Beef Steak

0 likes 0 reviews 5 views

Ecuadorian Churrasco is a popular traditional beef steak meal featuring thin, seasoned cuts of beef cooked on a hot grill or skillet. The steak is typically flavoured with garlic, cumin, salt, black pepper, and citrus juice, creating a delicious balance of savoury and tangy flavours. Unlike some other Latin American versions of churrasco, the Ecuadorian preparation is commonly served as a complete plate rather than simply grilled meat.

A traditional serving often includes fried or sautéed potatoes, white rice, fried eggs, avocado, and a fresh tomato and red onion salad. The combination of tender beef, crispy potatoes, and fresh accompaniments makes this dish hearty and satisfying. Ecuadorian Churrasco is a favourite choice for lunch and is widely enjoyed in restaurants and homes.

Cooking Method

Season the Beef: Combine garlic, lime juice, vegetable oil, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Coat the beef steaks evenly and leave to marinate for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and cut the potatoes into wedges. Boil them briefly until just tender, then drain and pat dry.
Cook the Potatoes: Heat oil in a skillet and cook the potato wedges until golden and crispy. Set aside.
Cook the Beef: Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated steaks until browned and cooked to a safe internal temperature. Allow them to rest briefly before serving.
Prepare the Eggs: In a separate pan, fry the eggs until the whites are fully set.
Make the Salad: Combine tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt in a bowl. Toss gently.
Prepare the Rice: Warm the cooked white rice if necessary.
Assemble the Plate: Serve each steak with rice, crispy potatoes, a fried egg, avocado slices, and fresh tomato-onion salad.
