Ingredient appreciation — what makes Locro special

What sets Locro apart is the handling of beef asado cuts. In lesser versions this is treated as a background note. Here it's central and the bold and satisfying result shows it. I've started buying it to cook with at home after this experience.

Argentina consumes more beef per capita than almost any other country. The a Buenos Aires steakhouse 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, Locro is the place to start.
