Asado, the Argentine way

In Argentina, an asado is a gathering as much as a meal. Friends stand around the grill, the cook takes their time, and the meat arrives in waves rather than all at once.

Salt, fire and patience

Argentine grilling is famously simple. Good beef, coarse salt and steady heat. There is no heavy marinade to hide behind, so the quality of the cut and the control of the fire are everything.

The best asado tastes of the beef and the smoke, and almost nothing else.

Our Asado Argentina Style follows that thinking. It is seasoned simply, cooked over charcoal and served with chimichurri, the bright sauce of parsley, garlic and vinegar that cuts through the richness.

How to order it

Asado is made for sharing. Order it for the middle of the table, add grilled vegetables and a salad, and let the evening run at an Argentine pace.
