Cook it at home

An Argentine asado at home: skirt steak, provoleta and chimichurri

An Argentine asado at home: skirt steak, provoleta and chimichurri

1 hr 15 min, 45 min hands-on · 4 people. The parrilla rule is low, steady heat from embers, salt only, and patience. Skirt or flank cooks fast and tastes like the real thing; the provoleta (grilled provolone) and a sharp chimichurri make it an asado.
