Meat Culture
You may wonder why South America is know as the meat culture of the world. There are many answers to this question. The first answer is Argentina. Beef in Argentina is among the best in the world. Many enthusiasts argue that this is because the cattle are grass fed rather than grain fed as in most countries. This allows for a more natural production of meat from so argued “healthier” cattle. Meat eaters alike tend to agree that the beef in Argentina is more tender and jucier, making for an all around better steak. The popular way to cook beef in Argentina is on a parilla, or grill, in the popular asado (BBQ) style over charcoal. Here are some beef cuts that you should know: Ojo de bife (rib eye), bife de lomo (filet mignon), matabre (flank steak), and bife de chorizo (sort of like serloin). Don’t forget the chimi churri, a great salsa served with your beef. You wont regret it. Buen Provecho!
