Gauchos are experts in making the asado, where a well-prepared BBQ requires several hours of work and slow cooking, using embers skilfully placed on the ground or the parrilla.
Once cooked, the most accepted way to taste the meat is to cut it while it is still on the grill, using the facón (gaucho knife), sliding a piece of meat delicately into a slice of bread. But of course, you can also enjoy it on a plate, using a knife and fork.
The program
How to set up an “asado a la parrilla” or “a la cruz”? What are Argentina’s favorite cuts of meat? How can you achieve the perfect preparation for each cut? What are the local sauces and techniques used to obtain tasty and tender meat?
