assado de tira, or roast strip is the rib of an young calf cut into around 8cm strips - the meat is deliciously tender and takes only around 20 or 30 minutes on the grill.

asinhas de frango, or chicken wings, are a nice, lighter option, and it can be seasoned in a variety of different ways as chicken is a meat which absorbs spices well - wings and drumsticks are fundamental players in the barbecue game because of their diversity, moist and versatile meat, as well as deliciously crispy skin.

some also opt to add chicken hearts into the equation, which  have a distinctive, powerful and rich taste, but are ot neccessarily for every palette.
