Ingredient appreciation — what makes Asado special

What sets Asado apart is the handling of chimichurri herbs. In lesser versions this is treated as a background note. Here it's central and the intensely beefy and smoky result shows it. I've started buying it to cook with at home after this experience.

the asado is an Argentinian social institution as much as a cooking technique. The a parrilla grill restaurant atmosphere was right for this kind of food. I had Fernet and cola as recommended and it matched well. If you want to understand what makes this cuisine distinctive, Asado is the place to start.
