Argentine Asado in the UK: Bringing the flavours of Argentina to Your BBQ
If you’ve ever had the pleasure of experiencing an Argentine Asado, you know it’s not just a barbecue—it’s a culinary art form. Known for its smoky, slow-cooked meats and warm social gatherings, the Asado is more than just a meal; it’s a tradition steeped in culture and flavour. At Namibian Hardwood UK, we’re here to bring this authentic experience to your backyard with our premium 90cm sekelbos logs—the perfect hardwood for an Asado or any other flame-heavy, heat-intensive cooking.
What Makes Argentine Asado Special?
The Asado is all about cooking meat over an open flame or glowing embers. Forget the rushed sizzle of a gas grill; this is low-and-slow cooking at its finest. Argentines use hardwood to create the embers that infuse their meats with rich, smoky flavours. The process is deliberate, the atmosphere convivial, and the results? Simply unforgettable.
Why Sekelbos Logs Are Perfect for Asado
Sekelbos, a natural hardwood from southern Africa, shares the same qualities cherished in Argentine cooking woods like quebracho or algarrobo. Here’s why it’s perfect for your Asado:
- Long-Lasting Heat: Sekelbos burns hot and for hours, making it ideal for slow-roasting your favourite cuts of meat.
- Clean-Burning: Our sekelbos logs are sun-dried and moisture-free, ensuring a clean, steady flame and no acrid smoke to interfere with the flavour.
- Subtle Smoky Flavour: Sekelbos imparts a delicate smokiness to the food without overpowering it—perfect for meats like rib-eye, lamb racks, or even whole chickens.
The UK Twist: Asado Meets British Backyard
Whether you’re hosting an Asado-inspired garden party or planning to impress at a potjie competition, our 90cm hardwood logs are your secret weapon. Their size and density make them a versatile choice for:
- Creating Glowing Embers: Lay down a bed of Sekelbos embers under your grill for that authentic Asado cooking method.
- Building Bonfires: For campers or potjie maniacs, these logs deliver roaring flames and long-lasting coals—perfect for keeping warm and cooking well into the night.
