How Asado Cooking Elevates Your Steak Experience
Asado isn’t just a cooking method; it’s a cultural celebration. In Argentina, Asado is a communal gathering where family and friends come together to enjoy food and conversation. The term “Asado” refers to the cooking method and the social event itself.
Quality of the Meat
At the heart of Asado is the quality of the meat. Argentina boasts some of the finest beef globally. The country's cattle are traditionally raised on vast, open pampas. They graze on natural grasses and roam freely, resulting in beef that is lean, tender, and rich in flavor.
Slow Cooking for Flavor
The Asado cooking method involves slow grilling over wood or charcoal. This allows the meat to absorb rich, smoky flavors. It’s not a rushed process; it’s about enjoying the company and savoring every bite of perfectly cooked steak.

Step-by-Step Instructions
Grilling the Argentinian Sirloin or Ribeye
Marinate the Steak: Place the Argentinian Sirloin or Argentinian Ribeye in a non-reactive container or resealable bag. Spoon 4 tablespoons of The Steak Shop’s chimichurri sauce over the steak, ensuring it’s well-coated. Flip the meat to coat evenly. Marinate at room temperature for 1 hour, or refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for deeper flavor.
Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to high (about 230°C/450°F) for both gas and charcoal grills. Let the steak sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Grill the Steak: Season with salt and pepper. Grill the steak for around 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting the cooking time for your preferred doneness.
Rest the Steak: Allow the steak to rest for 5 minutes under foil. This helps distribute the juices.
Slice and Serve: Slice the Argentinian Sirloin or Argentinian Ribeye against the grain. Drizzle with more chimichurri sauce or serve it on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
Helpful Tips for Cooking
Rest the Meat: After grilling, let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing. The internal temperature will continue to rise, ensuring a perfect cook.
Use a Meat Thermometer: For optimal results, check the internal temperature:
- Medium-Rare: 57°C (135°F)
- Medium: 63°C (145°F)
