La carne argentina: tradición, fuego y excelencia en cada corte

Argentine beef: tradition, fire and excellence in every cut

Argentina is synonymous with meat. Its grilling tradition is a cultural legacy that has transcended borders and won over palates worldwide. At El Enemigo Gourmet , we pay homage to this history by offering a selection of premium cuts , ideal for recreating the authentic Argentine grill at home.

The key to Argentine beef: quality from the source.

The secret of Argentine beef lies not only in its preparation, but also in its origin . Cattle raised on the vast Argentine pampas graze on natural pasture, resulting in a tender texture and unparalleled flavor. Its balanced marbling and unhurried rearing guarantee a juicy and nuanced result in every bite.

Essential cuts for a perfect grill.

Each cut of meat has its own personality and its best way of being prepared. These are some of the most iconic:

Ribeye steak – An Argentine classic, with a balance between fat and meat, ideal for cooking over medium heat.
Ribeye steak – Tender and with great marbling that gives it juiciness. Recommended grilled to medium doneness.
Short rib roast – Ribs cut crosswise, perfect for slow cooking to enhance their flavor.
Picanha – A juicy cut with a layer of fat that, when grilled, enhances its flavor and texture.
Skirt steak – A thin and very tasty cut, ideal for cooking over high heat with just a touch of coarse salt.

The ritual of the grill: fire, patience and passion.

Making an Argentinian barbecue is an art that goes beyond cooking. It's a ritual of gathering and tradition where every detail matters.

Fire is key. It is recommended to use charcoal or wood to achieve even heat and a smoky flavor.
Timing is everything. There's no rush on the grill: thick cuts should be cooked slowly to enhance their juiciness.
Less is more. Argentinian beef needs nothing more than a pinch of coarse salt to bring out its natural flavor.
