Portuguese Beef Sausage: Smoky, Bold, and Halal
Inspired by Portuguese chouriço, this sausage delivers smoky, garlicky depth using 100% halal beef. We season each link with smoked paprika, garlic, and a warm spice blend. As a result, the flavour is rich and savoury with a deep red colour. Every batch is hand-stuffed fresh at our Laval butcher shop. Specifically, we use the same premium beef that goes into all our products. No fillers and no shortcuts.
How to Cook Portuguese Beef Sausage
Grill or pan-fry over medium heat for 12 to 15 minutes. Then turn so every side browns evenly. For extra char, finish on high heat for the last two minutes. Cook to an internal temperature of 71°C (160°F), the level Health Canada recommends for ground beef. Rest two minutes before serving.
You can also bake them in the oven at 400°F for 20 minutes. Furthermore, this method works well when cooking for a crowd. Simply place the links on a sheet pan and turn once halfway through. The oven heat renders the fat evenly and keeps every link juicy.
Best Ways to Serve
Slice it into rice and bean dishes for a one-pot meal. Moreover, it adds smoky depth to a seafood-free paella. For something simple, serve grilled with crusty bread and roasted peppers. Plus, it pairs well with a fresh salad and garlic sauce on the side.
For breakfast, split the links and pan-fry until crispy. Serve with eggs, olives, and warm flatbread. Consequently, you get a hearty morning meal in under 15 minutes. Notably, the smoky flavour holds up well in sandwiches and wraps too.
Why Choose Our Portuguese Sausage
At Boucherie Beirut, we make this sausage fresh in-house with halal beef only. The smoked paprika gives it the bold colour and flavour of traditional chouriço. However, our version uses no pork and no alcohol. As a result, you get the classic taste without compromise. Every link is portioned by hand for even cooking.
