http://www.asadoargentina.com One man's quest to create the perfect asado -- Argentinean style Sun, 18 Jul 2010 14:50:41 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 en hourly 1 http://www.asadoargentina.com/chuck-tender-chingolopalomita/ http://www.asadoargentina.com/chuck-tender-chingolopalomita/#comments Fri, 20 Feb 2009 22:29:03 +0000 Asado Argentina http://www.asadoargentina.com/?p=327 Chingolo or Palomita (chuck tender in the U.S.), is a cut of beef that consists of the entire supraspinatus muscle which lies laterally to the shoulder blade bone. Contrary to what you may be thinking about a cut with tender as part of its name, chuck tender is anything but tender. Slow cooking, as with many other cuts from the chuck, is needed in order to turn that toughness into tenderness. For this cut, braising or stewing is typically the cooking method of choice due to the low amount of fat. However, when properly cooked on a parrilla you will be rewarded with a delicious chunk of meat full of rich beefy flavor.]]> http://www.asadoargentina.com/chuck-tender-chingolopalomita/feed/ 3 http://www.asadoargentina.com/aguja-sin-hueso-boneless-chuck-roast/ http://www.asadoargentina.com/aguja-sin-hueso-boneless-chuck-roast/#comments Tue, 02 Dec 2008 22:05:20 +0000 Asado Argentina http://www.asadoargentina.com/?p=214 Like how there is chuck and chuck, there is aguja and aguja. Huh? Let me explain. There is chuck the primal cut which comes from the shoulder area with some of the neck and ribs included and, from this primal cut, there is a section of muscles that form what is called the chuck roll cut. (This section runs above the shoulders, along the back, from part of the neck to where the rib eye cut begins. From the chuck roll you get the roasts or steaks known as chuck eye, chuck, tender, and under blade. At times the chuck roll and its various cuts are simply truncated down to chuck steaks or chuck roasts. The same can happen to other cuts within the chuck primal cut but more often than not they are labeled as their proper names such as blade roast, cross-rib roast, 7-bone roast, etc. Confusing, right? ]]> http://www.asadoargentina.com/aguja-sin-hueso-boneless-chuck-roast/feed/ 0 http://www.asadoargentina.com/adobo-para-pizza-pizza-seasoning/ http://www.asadoargentina.com/adobo-para-pizza-pizza-seasoning/#comments Fri, 18 Apr 2008 00:42:17 +0000 Asado Argentina http://www.asadoargentina.com/adobo-para-pizza-pizza-seasoning/ Walk past any dry spice stand in Argentina and you'll have a hard time missing the adobo para pizza sitting right beside chimichurri mixes, oregano, parsley, and other common herbs & spices. For chefs or home cooks, who see no need in purchasing a commercial blend, this mixture may be custom made before or at the last minute by sprinkling here and there a few simple ingredients. Either way, adobo para pizza is the go to seasoning for adding a spicy herbal kick to pizzas when parsley, oregano, or basil just won't cut it by themselves. ]]> http://www.asadoargentina.com/adobo-para-pizza-pizza-seasoning/feed/ 1 http://www.asadoargentina.com/asadito-in-chile/ http://www.asadoargentina.com/asadito-in-chile/#comments Thu, 24 Jan 2008 18:19:17 +0000 Asado Argentina http://www.asadoargentina.com/asadito-in-chile/ http://www.asadoargentina.com/asadito-in-chile/feed/ 2 http://www.asadoargentina.com/asado-in-the-campo/ http://www.asadoargentina.com/asado-in-the-campo/#comments Fri, 11 Jan 2008 21:54:26 +0000 Asado Argentina http://www.asadoargentina.com/asado-in-the-campo/ http://www.asadoargentina.com/asado-in-the-campo/feed/ 2 http://www.asadoargentina.com/bife-de-chorizo-sirloin-strip-steak-top-loin/ http://www.asadoargentina.com/bife-de-chorizo-sirloin-strip-steak-top-loin/#comments Mon, 14 May 2007 22:18:12 +0000 Asado Argentina http://www.asadoargentina.com/bife-de-chorizo-sirloin-strip-steak-top-loin/ http://www.asadoargentina.com/bife-de-chorizo-sirloin-strip-steak-top-loin/feed/ 14 http://www.asadoargentina.com/colita-de-cuadril-tail-of-rump-tri-tip/ http://www.asadoargentina.com/colita-de-cuadril-tail-of-rump-tri-tip/#comments Tue, 24 Apr 2007 22:01:02 +0000 Asado Argentina http://www.asadoargentina.com/colita-de-cuadril-tail-of-rump-tri-tip/ http://www.asadoargentina.com/colita-de-cuadril-tail-of-rump-tri-tip/feed/ 5 http://www.asadoargentina.com/the-matambre-challenge-round-two/ http://www.asadoargentina.com/the-matambre-challenge-round-two/#comments Sat, 17 Mar 2007 23:27:26 +0000 Asado Argentina http://www.asadoargentina.com/the-matambre-challenge-round-two/ http://www.asadoargentina.com/the-matambre-challenge-round-two/feed/ 10 http://www.asadoargentina.com/the-matambre-challenge-round-one/ http://www.asadoargentina.com/the-matambre-challenge-round-one/#comments Fri, 26 Jan 2007 21:30:44 +0000 Asado Argentina http://www.asadoargentina.com/the-matambre-challenge-round-one/ http://www.asadoargentina.com/the-matambre-challenge-round-one/feed/ 7 http://www.asadoargentina.com/the-matambre-challenge/ http://www.asadoargentina.com/the-matambre-challenge/#comments Mon, 08 Jan 2007 22:59:24 +0000 Asado Argentina http://www.asadoargentina.com/the-matambre-challenge/ http://www.asadoargentina.com/the-matambre-challenge/feed/ 10
