Asado (Argentine BBQ)
The ritual of slow-grilling various beef cuts over wood embers, Argentina's defining culinary tradition.
Why It Works
Wood embers provide radiant heat without flame flare-ups, allowing a slow cook that renders fat gradually; salt-only seasoning lets the quality of grass-fed beef speak for itself.
