💰Cheaper: homemade herb sauce

Homemade sauces can be more economical and customizable.

Visit a butcher to select cuts of meat: flank steak (vacio), skirt steak (entrana), chorizo, and blood sausage (morcilla).

Purchase about 10 pounds of meat for 12-15 people.

Build a DIY barbecue using bricks and replacement grills.

Light charcoal for grilling.

Start grilling flank steak, placing the fat side down first.

Cook flank steak for 3 minutes on each side over a strong fire, then move to a low fire and cook for about 40 minutes on each side.

Grill skirt steak and serve with chimichurri sauce on top.

Enjoy with Alamos Malbec wine and share with friends.
