In Chile, churrasco refers to a thin cut of steak which varies depending on the desired quality of the sandwich. The slices are grilled and served on a toasted bun, usually accompanied with tomato, avocado and mayonnaise, in the case of a churrasco italiano.

The term churrasco can also be seen in former Portuguese colonies elsewhere - a Churrasco Moçambicano is a grilled meat dish from Mozambique, for instance.
