Say this to the waiter (Portuguese)
A Picanha na Grelha, por favor, sem farofa, arroz ou batatas fritas. Pode ser com salada verde simples com azeite e vinagre, ou legumes grelhados? Tem alguma marinada com açúcar?
Picanha na Grelha, no farofa, rice, or fries. Green salad with oil/vinegar or grilled vegetables? Any sugary marinade?
Watch out for
