Sparkling Cranberry Bliss

tech

Ingredients:

Yerba mate (about 50g per person)
Hot water (not boiling, around 70-80°C)
A special container called mate a gourd, typically made from calabash or wood, or a special cup called mate

Instructions:

Fill the mate: Place the yerba mate in the mate, filling it about three-quarters full.

Arrange the leaves: Tilt the mate so that the yerba mate covers one side of the container, forming a kind of "mountain." This allows water to be poured onto a specific area.

Heat the water: The water should not be boiling, as this can scald the mate leaves. The ideal temperature is around 70-80°C.

Pour the water: Pour the water onto the exposed side of the yerba mate, gradually wetting the leaves.

Insert the straw (bombilla): A bomba, or bombilla, is a metal straw with a filter at the end. Insert the bomba into the mate, ensuring that the filter makes contact with the yerba mate leaves.

Savor the mate: Mate is often shared among friends and family. The person who prepared the mate serves themselves first, and after finishing the gourd, they refill it and pass it to the next person.

Macaroni and Cheese

Ingredients:

1 high-quality cut of meat (such as sirloin, ribeye, or flank): The choice of meat is crucial; Argentine cuts like bife de chorizo, ancho, or entraña work well.

Coarse salt: For seasoning the meat.

Instructions:

Selecting the Meat:
Choose high-quality cuts of beef, with popular Argentine choices being sirloin, ribeye, or flank.

Seasoning:
Before placing the meat on the grill, season it generously with coarse salt. Argentinians often prefer minimal seasoning to let the natural flavor of the meat shine.

Preheating the Grill:
Light the charcoal or wood in the barbecue and let it burn until it forms a good layer of embers.

Grilling the Meat:
Place the meat on the grill when the embers are well-formed. Adjust the grill height to control the heat.
Grill the meat according to your preferred doneness. The traditional Argentine preference is for a medium-rare, "jugoso" (juicy) finish, but you can adjust according to your preference.

Resting the Meat:
After removing the meat from the grill, let it rest for a few minutes. This helps retain internal juices, resulting in a juicier steak.

Slicing and Serving:
Slice the meat thinly, diagonally, to maximize texture and flavor.
Serve immediately, preferably with simple sides like salad, bread, or chimichurri sauce.

Remember, the quality of the meat is paramount for an authentic Argentine barbecue. Patience and attention to the meat's doneness are also key to achieving a delicious result. Enjoy your Argentinian barbecue!
