The Argentine asado, a cherished barbecue tradition, features a wide variety of meats grilled over an open flame. Prior to grilling, meats are often marinated with spices, herbs, and vinegar-based sauces, which not only enhance their flavors but also aid in preserving them during the cooking process.
