Churrasco Misto
Churrasco is a barbecuing technique from cattle ranches in the south of Brazil. For fiestas not unlike those held on early California ranchos, local cowboys--gauchos--speared big slabs of meat, then drove the tip of the spear or pole into the ground to tilt the meat over an open fire.

Brush meats once or twice with remaining vinegar mixture and turn as needed to brown evenly. Cook beef medium-rare, about 20 minutes, or medium, about 25 minutes; cut to center of thickest part to test.
