Churrasco (Traditional Brazilian BBQ)

Ingredients

1kg Picanha, with fat (Picanha refers to Brazilian top sirloin, a cut of meat from the primal loin.)
Rock salt
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup hot water

Method

Cut Picanha into about six pieces. Rub with salt and refrigerate overnight.

Pre-heat barbeque. Use large metal skewers so meat can be rotated on the barbeque. Place about 5cm-6cm above the coals.

When the outside of the meat is cooked it can be sliced from the skewers and kept warm. Place the remaining meat back on the BBQ and continue cooking in the same way.
