Steps to make an Argentine Asado

The Argentine asado, also known as a barbecue, is a traditional food in Argentina that involves grilling a variety of meats and vegetables over an open flame. The asado is a social and cultural event that allows people to enjoy good food and conversation in a relaxed atmosphere. In this Blog, we will go through the steps of making an Argentine asado.

The first step in making an Argentine asado is to choose the right meat. The most commonly used meats for an asado are beef, pork, and chicken. It is essential to choose fresh, high-quality meat for the best results. In Argentina, it is common to use cuts such as short ribs and sausages, which are all flavorful and easy to cook.

Secondly, is to prepare the grill. The preferred method is to use a wood-fired grill or parrilla, which adds a unique smoky flavor to the meat. Once the grill is hot, the coals should be spread evenly across the grill's bottom to ensure even cooking.
Thirdly, is to season the meat. The most common seasoning is salt, which is generously sprinkled over the meat before it is grilled. Other popular seasonings include garlic, pepper, and chimichurri.

The fourth step is to cook the meat. The meat is placed on the grill and left to cook slowly over a low heat.
The last step is to enjoy the asado! Once the meat is cooked to perfection, it is time to sit down with family and friends and enjoy the delicious meal. In Argentina, the asado is often accompanied by a variety of side dishes such as salad, bread, and wine.

To conclude, making an Argentine asado is a tradition that requires a bit of patience, skill, and attention to detail. The key to a successful asado is to choose the right meat, prepare the grill correctly, season the meat properly, cook it slowly over a low heat, and enjoy it with family and friends!

Asado
Asados are a tradition in Argentina and a huge part of our identity. Asados represent our values as a community: getting together the family and friends for a special occasion or just because, sharing plenty of anecdotes over a glass of wine or beer and enjoying some delicious meats made with love.
During asados, it is very common to see a long table filled with different cuts of meat: asado, chorizo, morcilla (blood sausage), pork, chicken, etc. Bread is essential to make the famous choripanes (sandwich of chorizo) as well as plenty of salads to accompany the meat and for those who have a vegetarian or vegan diet.

Mate
The mate is a symbol of union and brotherhood. When someone offers you a mate, it´s a sign that you are welcome and it is a very common practice to share it with everybody, even strangers.
Drinking mate is a costume in every Estancia too, gauchos and petiseros at work, all drink mate. Its preparation is meticulous but worth it.

Wine
Argentina has a broad diversity of climates that make it possible to cultivate all sorts of grapes for wine. Regions like Patagonia, San Juan, Salta and Mendoza are the producers of wine, being Mendoza the biggest one in the country.
Malbec wine is the one that stands out the most and the perfect drink for all your next asados to come. Other types of wine include white wines that are generally Chardonnay, Torrontés, Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, Viognier and Semillón.

How much mate is produced?

Yerba mate, whose scientific name is Ilex Paraguariensis, is a tree native to the Paraná Jungle, which in the wild can reach a height of between 12 and 16 meters. To facilitate their harvest, the plants are pruned up to twice a year to an average height of 2 meters.
