What it is

Less a dish than Argentina's national ceremony: beef and sausages grilled slowly over wood embers on the parrilla, eaten in courses with chimichurri and Malbec. Ingredients: beef cuts (asado de tira ribs, vacío flank, entraña), chorizo, morcilla, provoleta cheese, sweetbreads, chimichurri (parsley, oregano, garlic, chile flakes, vinegar, oil), coarse salt. Recipe: 1) Build a wood or charcoal fire; burn down to embers. 2) Salt the meat generously; grill sausages and offal first (the picada course with provoleta). 3) Grill large cuts slowly, fat-side first, turning once. 4) Rest, slice against the grain. Serve: over hours, in waves, with salads, chimichurri and red wine — the asador rules the fire. Flavor: smoke, beef, salt, patience. History: from the gauchos of the pampas roasting beef on iron crosses; the Sunday asado remains Argentina's family sacrament. See also: Choripán, Empanadas Argentinas.
