🥩 Argentinian Asado Recipe (Traditional BBQ Feast)

Description

Argentinian Asado is more than just a barbecue — it’s a cultural ritual! This dish features various cuts of beef, sausages, and ribs grilled slowly over wood or charcoal, served with chimichurri sauce. It’s smoky, juicy, and full of flavor — the heart of Argentinian cuisine.

🕒 Prep & Cook Time

  • Prep time: 25 minutes
  • Cook time: 1.5 to 2 hours
  • Total time: 2 hours 30 minutes
  • Serves: 6 people

🥘 Ingredients

  • 2 lbs beef ribs
  • 1 lb short ribs (asado de tira)
  • 1 lb chorizo sausages
  • 1 lb morcilla (blood sausage), optional
  • Coarse salt, to taste
  • Chimichurri sauce, for serving

🔥 Chimichurri Sauce

  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 3 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • ½ cup finely chopped parsley
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp red chili flakes
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Mix all ingredients and set aside for at least 1 hour.

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Prepare the Grill:
    Use charcoal or wood for authentic flavor. Let it burn until you have glowing embers (no direct flames).

  2. Season the Meat:
    Rub the beef cuts with coarse salt. No marinade needed — the smoke adds the magic.

  3. Grill Slowly:
    Place meat on the grill (parrilla) about 10–12 inches from the embers. Cook low and slow — 1 to 1.5 hours — turning occasionally.

  4. Add Sausages:
    Grill chorizo and morcilla for about 20–30 minutes until browned.

  5. Serve:
    Slice the meat, arrange on a platter, and drizzle with chimichurri. Serve hot with bread, salad, or roasted vegetables.

🍽️ Tips for Perfect Asado

  • Never rush — slow cooking creates tender, smoky meat.
  • Use wood embers, not gas, for authentic taste.
  • Serve with Malbec wine for a true Argentinian pairing.
