Boerewors, Afrikaans for farmer’s sausage, is a traditional sausage typically served in braais. It’s made out of pork and beef mixture or just beef that is coarsely ground for a chunky texture.

Remove the steak from the fridge and bring it to room temperature, approximately 15 minutes before the braai. Arrange the steaks on the grill and cook for some minutes.
