Asado is an Argentinean barbecue dish that typically features large cuts of meat cooked over coals or fire. It often includes beef, pork, lamb, or chicken, accompanied by various condiments and sides such as chimichurri sauce, grilled vegetables, and potatoes. To cook this meal, follow these steps:
- Choose your preferred type of meat: Beef ribs (short plate or full cut), pork shoulders, leg or loin, lamb cuts, or chicken thighs are all excellent choices.
- Prepare the marinade: Combine 60 ml olive oil, juice from 3 lemons, 6 chopped garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, and salt to taste.
- Marinate your meat: Place the chosen cuts in a large resealable bag or container and pour in the marinade. Coat well, ensuring even coverage, and refrigerate overnight for at least 8 hours.
- Set up your grill or open fire pit: Prepare a bed of hot coals (around 500-600°F) with sufficient space to cook all your chosen meat cuts without overcrowding.
- Grill the asado: Place the marinated meats directly on the grill and cook slowly until they reach your desired level of doneness, flipping regularly for even cooking. For optimal results, use a meat thermometer to ensure proper internal temperatures (rare – 120°F, medium-rare – 135°F, medium – 145°F, and well done – 160°F).
- Serve with condiments: Arrange the cooked meats on a serving platter along with sides like grilled vegetables, potatoes, and condiments such as chimichurri sauce or salsa criolla for diners to help themselves.
- Enjoy with family and friends: Argentineans typically serve Asado at social gatherings and celebrations, emphasizing the importance of sharing food, conversation, and good company during mealtime.PromptAsado dish, colorful, very detailed, HD, highly detailed, sharp focus, stunningly beautiful, Character Design Sheet, character reference sheet, character turn aroundNegative promptugly, deformed, noisy, blurry, low contrast
