About
Asado is listed as beef from Argentina. The steps below are the imported TheMealDB method, not an editorial rewrite. Times shown were read from those steps.
Ingredients
Scaling multiplies the written quantities. Baking still prefers a scale.
Steps
Step 1
Prepare the Fire: Start a wood fire in your grill and let it burn down to coals. Season the Meat: Generously salt the beef cuts. Grill the Meat: Place the beef on the grill, starting with the thickest cuts farthest from the coals. Add chorizo and morcilla after the beef has been cooking for a while. Cook to Perfection: Cook the meat, turning occasionally, until it reaches your desired doneness. Typically, ribs may take up to 2 hours; thinner cuts will cook faster. Rest and Serve: Let the meat rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with chimichurri sauce and grilled vegetables. Pro Tips:
130 minStep 2
Use a mix of wood and charcoal for a consistent heat source. Wood adds flavor, while charcoal maintains temperature. Season the meat just before grilling to ensure it retains its moisture and flavor. Serving Suggestions:
Step 3
Serve with a side of chimichurri sauce, a fresh tomato salad, and crusty bread. Pair with a robust Malbec wine to complement the rich flavors of the meat.
