Bottom Sirloin. Fraldinha is one of the most distinctive and flavorful cuts of meat from Southern Brazil due to its strong marbling characteristics. Our gaucho chefs carve against the grain to ensure the cut remains as tender and flavorful as possible.

In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

Prepare the Marinade

Place the fraldinha in a large resealable bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

Marinate the Meat

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the fraldinha from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Place the meat on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness.

Grill the Fraldinha

Once cooked, remove the fraldinha from the grill and let it rest for about 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender cut.

Rest the Meat

Slice the fraldinha against the grain into thin strips. Serve with your choice of sides such as grilled vegetables or rice.
