I’m from the US, my wife is from Argentina. I want to surprise her with an Asado (as close as I can get with what meat cuts are available). This video has been incredibly helpful.
Look amazing! I just discovered your channel and instantly subbed! I live in California, but this style of grilling entrances me. I am trying to put together a mesa de asado now. I hope you keep making more videos showing this style of grilling :)
@@maxcooking-argentiniancuis6844 You're very welcome :) I got my asado table together since I left that comment and have already done about 6 cooks on it. Loving it! I will continue binging and watching your channel for updates and inspiration. Cheers!
Good stuff man. Why do you use lemon for the matambre? To tenderize or flavor, Or both? Love this style of cooking. I’ll be preparing asado this weekend!
In Argentina you'll find firewood in 5kg or 10kg bags on gas stations, grocery stores, meat shops etc. Those places usually have a few bags on the sidewalk to let you know they sell firewood
Love the style of live fire grilling however, would be taking the meat off much earlier or use a digital so it’s more med rare our preference yours is too overdone for me. But to each their own.
Could be as most don’t use anything but their instincts to monitor doneness. Experience should get the results individuals want. Live fire is much more aggressive than smoking of course so technique and methods are learned.
The smart Argentines build the fire ON the grill, then move the coals below the grill and clean the grill with newspaper instead of using a wire brush which is dangerous.
It just seems like such an inefficient way to cook. Like you need to be somewhere where coal or wood is cheap that you can burn logs just for one piece of meat to cook over hrs. Dude started in the day time.
It is not inefficient At ALL.. but yeah you need a lot of charcoals or woods or both you cannot let the embers died ... some things like whole huge animals can take up to 7 hours.. Argentine Bbq is the literally flagstone that say if you want something extremely delicious and well done as a unique experience... you need As Asador slave yourself for the rest of your guests in front of the grill... otherwise you can eat a vienna sausage in 5 minutes in the microwave
