At Libertango, we don’t just serve Argentine cuisine; we share a piece of our heritage. Central to that heritage is asado, a traditional barbecue that’s more than just cooking – it’s a social ritual, a celebration of flavor, and a testament to the skill of the “asador,” or grill master.
Honoring the Heritage
The asado’s roots trace back to the gauchos, the legendary cowboys of the Argentine Pampas. These nomadic horsemen relied on open-fire cooking, transforming simple cuts of meat into culinary masterpieces. Today, at Libertango in Sandy, Utah, we honor that tradition, bringing the authentic taste of Argentina to your plate in a fine-dining setting.
How is Asado Different From American BBQ?
What sets asado apart from typical grilling? It’s the slow, deliberate process. We use high-quality cuts of meat, primarily beef, cooked over a wood-fired grill. The wood imparts a unique smoky flavor, penetrating deep into the meat. The asador’s expertise lies in controlling the heat and ensuring even cooking, resulting in tender, juicy, and incredibly flavorful meat.
Key elements of our asado experience include:
- Premium Cuts: We select only the finest cuts, ensuring exceptional quality and taste.
- Wood-Fired Grilling: The use of wood, rather than gas or charcoal, is essential for the authentic asado flavor.
Our asado is more than just a meal; it’s an experience. It’s the aroma of wood smoke, the sizzle of meat, and the shared enjoyment of good food with friends and family. When you dine at Libertango, you’re not just eating; you’re participating in a tradition that has been passed down through generations.
