About Asado

Asado is a traditional Argentine barbecue that is both a culinary staple and a cultural event. Typically featuring various cuts of beef, pork, chicken, and sausages, it’s cooked slowly over an open flame or hot coals using a grill known as a "parrilla." Vegetables such as peppers, potatoes, and squash may also accompany the meat, while chimichurri sauce, made from parsley, garlic, olive oil, and vinegar, adds flavor intensity. Asado is rich in protein and essential nutrients like iron and zinc, particularly from red meats. However, it can be high in saturated fats depending on the cuts used, so moderation is advised. Pairing it with fresh salads or grilled vegetables can improve its nutritional balance. Rooted deeply in Argentine cuisine, Asado isn’t just about food—it’s a social ritual that brings friends and families together, emphasizing quality, craft, and tradition.
