History, tradition and origin
Cooking meat over open fire is shared by almost every culture. In Argentina and Uruguay the asado is a social event that lasts an afternoon, led by one person who tends the fire, and the meat is served with a parsley and garlic sauce. Skewers and mixed grills play the same role across the Mediterranean and the Middle East.
Food economy and industry
Argentina and Uruguay built their economies on cattle raised on open grassland, and beef remains a major export and a point of national pride. Per person, they are among the world's biggest beef eaters. Grass-fed beef is leaner and takes longer to raise than grain-fed, which shapes both its flavour and its cost.
