Asado is a traditional Argentine barbecue and a central part of the country’s culture. It consists of various cuts of beef—such as ribs (costillas), vacÃo, chorizo, and morcilla—slow-grilled over wood or charcoal and seasoned simply with salt. It’s typically served with chimichurri sauce and shared during family gatherings, especially on weekends.
While asado is the most widely accepted national dish, other iconic foods include empanadas, milanesa, and locro.
