15 stepsInteractive Cook Mode: Click any step or circle to check it off as you cook.
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:
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:
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.
👨🍳 Chef's Culinary Notes
Cultural Heritage
Asado carries a rich culinary tradition rooted in regional home cooking. Developed over generations, the recipe highlights wholesome local ingredients prepared with time-honored kitchen techniques.
Dietary Substitutions
If you need to accommodate dietary restrictions, mixed beef cuts can be substituted with an equivalent volume of seasonal vegetables, legumes, or a protein alternative of your preference.
Chef Technique Tips
Season in stages rather than all at once at the end. Salting components as they cook draws out excess moisture, intensifies natural sugars, and builds harmonious depth of flavor throughout the dish.
