Asado is a term used in Spanish-speaking countries to refer to a traditional barbecue or grilled meat, often involving different cuts of beef. It is a popular culinary tradition in countries like Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, and Paraguay. Asado typically involves cooking the meat slowly over an open fire, often using a wood or charcoal grill called a "parrilla." The meat is seasoned with various herbs and spices, and it is common to see cuts like ribs, sausages, flank steak, and beef short ribs being cooked. Asado is not only about the food but also about the social gathering and the art of grilling. It is a significant cultural event, often enjoyed with friends and family, which can last several hours.
