Get your Gaucho on with an Argentinean Asado

Asado—an Argentinean mixed grill meal with Chimichurri
Some countries identify with a national dish. Argentina identifies with a national meal—the Asado – which consists of numerous meats each served with the national sauce—chimichurri—an easy to make sauce of finely chopped parsley and garlic, olive or salad oil, salt, vinegar or lemon juice, and sometimes a few red pepper flakes, but not enough to make it hot. Just whirl this up in a food processor or with a quick chop of your knife. Other chimichurri ingredients may include green onion, finely minced carrot, oregano, cumin, thyme, lime juice, and, most controversially, cilantro. I suspect cilantro is not used in Argentina but as use of the delicious sauce migrated northward cilantro was introduced.
Chimichurri Sauce: Recipe
Everything’s better with Chimichurri sauce!
An Asado meal is comprised of numerous meats grilled over an open fire, each served in a traditional order, and all served with simple-to-make chimichurri sauce —yes all these meats in one meal:
- Grilled Provolone Cheese: A 6”wide x ¾”thick disk of Provolone is placed directly on the grill until it begins to melt and then transferred to a platter and served to guests with chimichurri and bread for all to enjoy while meats are cooked. I think beer and wine(Malbec) are involved here.
- Chorizo: The meal truly starts with chorizo sausage, chimichurri, on bread or bun. NOTE: Argentine chorizo is much like our Wohlner’s Italian Sausage, according to my Argentinean host, John Endrise, and very unlike Mexican Chorizo. Then onto
- Flanken cut Short Rib: Grilled and served, of course, with chimichurri, followed by
- Beef Steak: Typically this course is grilled sliced flank steak (vacio), but I’m thinking Sirloin or London Broil, cooked rare and then sliced, would be deemed appropriate by any gaucho.
- Chicken Breast: Since chicken is much more expensive than beef in Argentina, if an valued guest is present then chicken breast would be served as it is considered lavish. Often the chicken breast is stuffed with ham and cheese, wrapped in bacon, grilled, and served with chimichurri.
You don’t need to serve all those meats at one meal like Argentineans’ do, but it does show that chimichurri is good with any meat. A mixed grill is fun, interesting, and provides a variety for your guests.
An Asado meal usually includes bread, lettuce salad, tomatoes, grilled corn, and possibly potatoes. The wine of choice would be Malbec, but Placido Chianti Classico would be good, too. Dessert would be fresh fruit (sliced pluots, fresh strawberries, sliced watermelon) or flan.
Leftover Gaucho Steak: There will be leftovers, and chimichurri sauce is a fantastic sandwich condiment. My mouth is watering for sliced rare London broil steak or sirloin steak on crusty Wohlner’s sourdough bread slathered with chimichurri.
Invite some friends over for your Asado. Gaucho attire optional.
