Recipes

In Argentina, beef rules. Not just steaks, but every part of the beast. The parillada mixta, or mixed grill, is Argentina's almost ritualistic meal event. Sides of beef rotate slowly on vertical spits around a fire pit, waiting to be hacked off in pieces by asadores (grill chefs) and finished to the diner's delight. Platters swish through the parrillada restaurants heaped with mounds of grilled roasts, sausages, steaks, ribs, sweetbreads, intestines, and more. The average customer consumes 2 pounds of beef at a single setting, men and women alike, teaming these cuts with nothing more than with a splash of the pungent parsley-vinegar condiment known as Chimichurri Sauce, and sides of fried potatoes. In order to prepare these recipes correctly, you need fine Argentine beef and it is for sale to take home at the restaurant.
