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.
