Asado is cuts of meat, usually beef, which are cooked on a grill (parilla) or open fire. Asado is quite popular in the Pampa region of South America, and it is the traditional dish of Argentina, Uruguay and the Southern States of Brazil.
Chimichurri, a sauce of oregano, parsley and chilli, is the common accompaniment to an asado.
In Brazil, Asado is called Churrasco, and although the method of cooking is similar, charcoal is predominantly used instead of embers of wood, and Brazilians tend to cook the meat on skewers.
