Argentinian Asado is the iconic traditional barbecue of Argentina, rooted in the gaucho culture of the Pampas. Renowned for its pure meat flavor and low-and-slow grilling technique, this classic delicacy has gained global popularity and can be perfectly replicated with a kamado grill.
Ingredients
Roast beef strips, Vacío, Matambre, Entraña, Achuras, Chicken, Criollo chorizo, Cooking oil, Coarse salt
Preparation
Select preferred meats based on availability and taste. Take the meat out of the refrigerator in advance to bring it to room temperature for even cooking.
Trim the meat to size, coat lightly with oil and season with coarse salt. Preheat the kamado grill to 150°C, then spread the embers evenly and adjust the ventilation to stabilize the temperature at 120°C.
Arrange meats on the grill according to their cooking time for simultaneous completion. For bone-in cuts, grill the bone side first until golden brown, then flip. The standard cooking time at 120°C is approximately 30 minutes, adjustable by meat type, fat content, thickness and desired doneness.
Serve the grilled meat with classic chimichurri sauce. Pair with side dishes of fried potatoes, fresh lettuce-tomato-onion salad, or traditional Argentine egg potato salad for an authentic local flavor.
Cultural Spotlight
Asado is more than food in Argentina — it is a core social ritual. Adhering to the simple cooking philosophy of “highlighting original meat flavor”, it uses only salt and oil for seasoning, with chimichurri as a complementary dip to retain pure, rich meat taste.
Professional kamado grill brands originating from Argentina are widely recognized for Asado grilling. The kamado’s excellent constant-temperature sealing performance perfectly adapts to Argentina’s traditional low-temperature slow-grilling craft, restoring the authentic taste of Pampas barbecue.
Enjoy your authentic Argentinian barbecue feast!
