What is an Argentinian Grill?

What is an Argentinian Grill?

An Argentinian grill, also known as a "Parrilla," is a type of grill traditionally used in Argentina and other South American countries for cooking various types of meat, especially beef. It is known for its unique design and cooking style, which is particularly well-suited for grilling large cuts of meat and creating a distinctive flavour.

Key features of an Argentinian grill include:

  1. Adjustable Grate: The grill typically has a height-adjustable grate that allows you to control the distance between the meat and the fire. This feature enables you to adjust the cooking temperature and the intensity of the flames, giving you precise control over the grilling process.
  2. Wood or Charcoal Fuel: Argentinian grills are often fuelled by wood or charcoal, which imparts a smoky and flavourful quality to the grilled meat. 
  3. Over Embers: The meat is cooked directly over embers, which adds a unique charred and smoky flavour to the food. The grill's design usually includes a firebox or pit where the wood or charcoal is burned.
  4. Grill Grates or V-shaped Racks: Argentinian grills often have grill grates or V-shaped racks that allow the rendered fat to drip away from the meat, preventing flare-ups and creating a rich, smoky aroma.

Argentinian grills are renowned for the delicious flavours they impart to grilled meats, and they are often used for cooking various cuts of beef, such as ribs, steaks, sausages, and more. They are a central element of Argentine culinary culture and are enjoyed in a social and communal setting where friends and family gather for a feast.
