Argentine Grill vs. Steakhouse: Differences Tasteful on the Palate
Two traditions, two ways of understanding meat
When we talk about meat, it’s not all about the term “asado.” There are different ways of preparing and serving this delicacy, and two of the most recognized worldwide are Argentine grills and traditional steakhouses. Although both share a passion for quality cuts, their differences lie in the cooking method, the types of meat, the presentation, and the restaurant experience itself.
The Soul of the Argentine Grill at Bodega Argentina
At Bodega Argentina, we understand the Argentine grill as a cultural expression that respects fire, time, and the quality of the product. It’s cooked over charcoal or wood, with a low, patient heat, and the cuts—such as bife de chorizo, flank steak, or flank steak—are prepared directly on the grill, preserving all their natural flavor. We don’t use sauces or artificial ingredients: here, the meat speaks for itself. Each dish honors tradition and celebrates Argentine flavor as it should be.
Steakhouse Style, a Different Experience
Unlike our menu, steakhouses typically opt for high-temperature oven cooking or gas grills. Their cuts are generally thick, like ribeye or T-bone steak, and it’s common to see techniques like dry-aging or the addition of intense butters and sauces. The result is a different experience, richer in technical nuances and concentrated flavors.
