Though spit-roasting a rotisserie steak in your fireplace would boost the authenticity of an indoor luau, the wafting scent from the chimney can clog backyards with feral knife salesmen. Leave steak prep to the professionals with today's Groupon: for $25, you get $50 worth of Brazilian steakhouse cuisine at Texas de Brazil.

Texas de Brazil blends the steak-centric cuisine of Texas with the traditional churrasco method of slow-roasting meat over an open flame grill to form a luscious meaty mélange. The full dinner ($39.99) marches out a cavalcade of choice cuts, allowing diners to welcome continuous windfalls of flavorful proteins. Brandish your table's provided card, green on one side, red on the other, and it will function as a meat traffic light that summons servers to either send stacks of seasoned beef, pork, or lamb skewers or halt plate traffic like a decorated culinary crossing guard. Or feel free to substitute greens for the grill by stepping into the sprawling salad-bar conga line ($24.99), two-stepping through toothsome goodies such as imported cheeses, steamed asparagus, and dozens of other hors d'oeuvres.
