Argentine Asado

Cultural Context

Asado is a traditional Argentine barbecue that reflects the country's rich gaucho heritage. Originating from the Pampas region, it is not just a meal but a social event, often accompanied by family and friends gathering around the grill. The practice of slow-cooking various cuts of meat over an open flame has become a symbol of Argentine culture, celebrated for its communal spirit. Today, asado has gained popularity worldwide, with many countries adopting their own versions of this grilling tradition.

💰Cheaper: pork ribs

Lean cuts provide a healthier option while pork ribs are often less expensive.

1

Prepare the grill with natural coals, avoiding chemicals and preservatives.

2

Place the chorizo on the grill first.

3

Add the asado de tira (flank steak) cut into thin strips, known as 'banderita'.

4

Ensure there is no open flame, only the heat from the coals.

5

Count to 12 seconds with your hand above the grill to check the heat level.

6

Do not let the meat dry out; do not flip it immediately.

7

Cook the asado de tira more thoroughly than other cuts of meat.

8

Cut the chorizo in half to cook it properly, but do not slice it into pieces.

9

Once the chorizo is ready, continue cooking the rest of the meat slowly without direct flame.

10

At the end, add the chicken wings to the grill, either fresh or thawed, with a bit of salt.

11

Cook the wings on low heat, turning them frequently to ensure even cooking.
