The Steak You're Eating Could Be 10,000 Years Old

The idea it was made from

“Take bem próximo de um corte de picanha grelhando sobre brasas de churrasco. Chamas tocando suavemente a capa de gordura, gordura derretida pingando no carbão criando pequenas faíscas. Crosta dourada e crocante, fumaça atmosférica, textura realista, iluminação cinematográfica, ultra detalhado.”
