Introduction to Asado: How to Succeed in Your First Argentine Grill Experience

Asado is more than grilling. It is a ritual – fire, meat, and friendship. In Argentina, Asado is what Sunday dinner is in Germany: a moment when everyone gathers around the grill, shares stories, and enjoys good meat over real wood fire.

If you want to experience this spirit in your garden, you are in the right place. This guide shows you how to find the perfect introduction to Asado.

What exactly is Asado?

Asado is the traditional Argentine way of grilling – over an open wood fire, on an adjustable-height grill grate, often for many guests. Instead of quickly cooking sausages and steaks in ten minutes, Asado is about time, enjoyment, and community. A real Asado takes hours. While the fire turns to embers, you drink a glass of Malbec, talk, laugh – and enjoy the spectacle of the fire.

The first steps into Asado grilling

1. Choose the right wood: Use hardwood like beech or oak. It provides long-lasting embers and the typical Asado flavor.
2. Make the fire – with patience: No gas, no chimney starter. In Asado, the fire is part of the experience. Build it layer by layer and wait until nice embers form.
3. Adjust the grate height: The trick of the BRASA is the precise height adjustment. Start high above the embers and slowly lower the grate until the meat gently sizzles.
4. Take your time: Asado is slow cooking. Large pieces – like ribs or picanha – take hours. In return, you get the incomparable aroma that no gas grill can ever deliver.
5. Enjoy the community: Asado means eating together, laughing, and losing track of time. The grill is the stage, the center, and the topic of conversation all at once.

Typical mistakes when starting – and how to avoid them

❌ Starting too hot: Let the flames die down before you grill. Embers are your friend, fire is your enemy.

❌ Wrong meat: Thin steaks burn too quickly. Prefer thick cuts like picanha, ribs, or entrecôte.

❌ Moving the meat too much: Turn the meat as rarely as possible. Patience brings flavor.

❌ Using a cheap grill: An unstable grill ruins the experience. The BRASA was built exactly to give you control and joy – every time.

Why Asado is more than grilling

The charm of Asado lies in the ritual. It slows things down. It brings people together. And it gives you a feeling of pride when you master the fire. Asamodo has perfectly brought this spirit to Europe – with a grill that combines quality, authenticity, and status.

As many owners say: “Finally real space. Finally real fire. Finally Asado.”
