Many consider the Argentinian cuisine an art form. It is not just the type of meat that makes it different. Every detail, from the wood used, down to the temperature of the open-fire grill are some of the things to consider when smoking meats the Argentinian way.
One of the most famous cooking techniques is called the asado. It uses wood that lends a smoky, savory flavor to meats that are cooked slowly on parillas or open-fire grill. This makes the grilled meat fork-tender with a melt-in-the-mouth goodness unlike any other protein.

While it is best to eat Argentine steaks only with salt to enhance its natural and savory flavors, the Argentinians add chimichurri puree on the side to complement the smoked meats. It is usually made from a combination of chopped garlic and onions, fresh parsley, cilantro, oregano, olive oil, lime juice, seasoned with salt and red pepper flakes.
