DALLAS, Jan. 22, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- With an even greater focus on rich, natural flavors, leading Brazilian steakhouse Fogo de Chão announced the return of guest-favorite Bone-In Cowboy Ribeye for a limited time, plus the expansion of its dry-aged steak offerings to include a new 24-ounce New York Strip in addition to the popular 32-ounce Tomahawk Ribeye.
The Bone-In Cowboy Ribeye, which is available as part of the Full Churrasco Experience, is aged 21 days, then fire-roasted on the bone to lock in moisture for juicier and more succulent flavor. Fogo’s New York Strip and Tomahawk Ribeye premium cuts are dry-aged for a minimum of 42 days and boast magnificent marbling to deliver richer and robust flavors in every bite. Both dry-aged steaks are sized to share and are available to order a la carte at all Fogo de Chão locations across the U.S. and Puerto Rico for a limited time only.
“The key to Brazilian Churrasco dining is for our guests to be able to try interesting and unexpected flavors they may have never explored before,” said Barry McGowan, Chief Executive Officer of Fogo de Chão. “For years, we’ve been pleased to offer guests their first taste of ribeye, lamb chops or Brazilian cuts such as Picanha. And now, we’re introducing the chance to explore the rich and decadent flavors of premium dry-aged steaks for a truly elevated experience.”
Fogo also continues its commitment to offer the best of South American wines by introducing new varietals from beyond the expected Argentinean and Chilean valleys to now include Patagonia, Uco, Tulum and beyond.
