This week we continue our culinary travels by flying all the way to Argentina to experience an asado! Family, friends, and delicious food is always a great combination; so we have gathered a couple great recipes for you, in order to have your very own asado!

Argentina is the eighth-largest country in the world and covers most of the lower part of South America. Argentina is bordered by Uruguay, Brazil, Paraguay, Bolivia, and Chile. The country is known for exporting some of the highest quality wine, world-famous soccer players, and of course beef.
