Home cooking attempt — Churrasco from scratch

I spent an afternoon making Churrasco from scratch following a traditional recipe. Getting black beans right was the main challenge — it's not as straightforward as it looks. The smoky and umami-deep result was rewarding once I got it right.

Brazilian cuisine reflects indigenous, Portuguese, and African culinary heritages in equal measure. I served it with guaraná Antarctica as the recipe suggested and the pairing made sense. It took longer than I expected but the outcome was genuinely satisfying. Making Churrasco yourself gives you a new appreciation for what goes into it at a restaurant.
