Why Medialunas deserves more attention

Medialunas rarely gets the international recognition it deserves. The intensely beefy and smoky complexity is genuine, not simple, and the technique involved in using yerba mate correctly takes real skill.

the asado is an Argentinian social institution as much as a cooking technique. I encountered it first in a family quincho barbecue area and that context helped me understand it properly. Quilmes lager is the natural accompaniment and the combination makes the case for the dish. If you haven't explored this cuisine seriously, Medialunas is the dish to start with.
