🥂 Barbecue as a New Year’s Eve party
New Year’s Eve is a time of celebration, unity and hope for the new year that begins. While many opt for traditional dinners, other families transform New Year’s Eve into a true celebration of flavors around the barbecue. A barbecue is not just a meal: it is a ritual that brings together friends and relatives around the grill, celebrating the goals achieved in the year that is ending and toasting the beginning of a new cycle.
🥩 Choosing and Preparing the Perfect Meat for New Year’s Eve
A good barbecue starts with quality meat and correct preparation techniques. Below, we describe in detail the most traditional cuts for a perfect warm night:
1️⃣ Rump steak
Why choose it: It is the most loved cut of Brazilian barbecue, juicy and with its iconic layer of fat that melts during preparation.
How to prepare:
- Cut the piece into thick slices (about 2 fingers wide).
- Season only with coarse salt.
- Place initially on the barbecue with the fat side facing up.
- Turn to seal and ensure a golden crust.
- Barbecue tip: Never pierce the picanha with a fork as it will lose the natural juices.
2️⃣ Beef rib
Why choose it: The ribeye is a robust cut, rich in flavor, but requires careful preparation to guarantee its tenderness.
Preliminary preparation:
- Season with coarse salt, black pepper and a touch of crushed garlic.
- Wrap the piece in aluminum foil.
- Let it rest for 2 hours before putting it on the heat.
On the barbecue:
- Place the rib over low heat, bone side down.
- Leave to roast slowly on low heat for 4-6 hours.
- In the last 30 minutes, remove the aluminum foil to brown the surface.
- BBQ Tip: Patience is the key. The ribs need to roast slowly so that the collagen turns into gelatin, leaving the meat soft and juicy.
3️⃣ Diaper
Why choose it: A softer cut, quick to prepare and with a strong flavour.
How to prepare:
- Season with coarse salt and a drizzle of olive oil.
- Place on the grill with the fattiest part facing up.
- Cook for about 15 minutes on each side to ensure juiciness.
- BBQ Tip: Cut the steak against the grain to keep it tender.
4️⃣ Artisan sausages
Why choose them: They are ideal as an appetizer and help to whet your guests’ appetites.
How to prepare:
- Place the whole sausages on the barbecue.
- Cook slowly, turning often, until evenly browned.
- Barbecue tip: Do not cut the sausages before cooking, otherwise they will lose their juiciness. Do not pierce or pierce them so as not to lose their juiciness.
