Any occasion is a good excuse - birthdays, wedding anniversaries, public holidays and even an ordinary Sunday will do. An asado is a meal for family and/or friends, at midday or in the evening, where the main dish is beef roasted outdoors on a barbecue. This can be served with potatoes, red peppers, cheese or chicken, and various types of sausages and offal, all cooked on the barbecue. The wood used in the fire gives a unique and unmistakable flavour to the food. It takes some time to get the food ready, so the guests at an asado will have plenty of time to chat and socialize over drinks by the fire.* * *I adj roast atrII m1 roast* * *asado, -da adj: roasted, grilled, broiledasado nm1) : roast2) : barbecued meat3) : barbecue, cookout* * *asado adj1.
