Argentine Barbecue with Salsa Criolla

  • ACTIVE:
  • TOTAL TIME:
  • SERVINGS: 8

One of the most traditional Argentine barbecues is asado de tira, a cut of beef ribs, which is served with a tomato salsa. To approximate the tender Argentine cut, use skirt steak. If you cook the meat in a grill pan, lightly oil the pan first.

Our Pairing Suggestion

A Cabernet Sauvignon will have tannins that are beefy, just like a good Argentine asado.
