Argentina is known for steak. People from around the world come to Argentina to enjoy delicious steak grilled on a Parilla, which is the name given to an Argentinian open-fire grill. One of the most sought-after cuts of beef is bife de lomo. Bife de lomo, commonly known as Filet Mignon, is an incredibly tender piece of meat that is loved by all who have tried it.

What is Bife De Lomo?

Bife de lomo is one of the most common cuts of meat in the world, enticing consumers at steakhouses in every corner of the globe. The cut is so popular because of how tender and juicy it is, proving to be delicious and succulent with each and every bite.

How is Bife De Lomo Sold?

Bife de lomo is sold in a variety of different forms and cuts. You can find bife de lomo sliced, trimmed, untrimmed, and even whole. You can purchase high-quality bife de lomo at a butcher or your local supermarket. At the supermarket, the bife de lomo is usually already trimmed, but if you purchase it from a butcher, you should ask them to trim the meat for you.

How Do You Cook Bife De Lomo?

Bife de lomo should be grilled after being drizzled with a bit of oil and salt. You can expect to grill the steaks for 5 to 6 minutes per side, flipping only once. Of course, the amount of time your steak needs to be on the grill will depend on a variety of factors, including the heat of your grill and the size of the steak.

How Do You Eat Bife De Lomo?

Once cooked, bife de lomo should be served with chimichurri sauce and maybe a side of vegetables. The chimichurri sauce makes for an excellent complement to the steak, providing a variety of different tastes and textures. Cut off a piece of steak, dip it in chimichurri sauce, and then enjoy a delicious explosion of flavor in your mouth.

At Puerto La Boca you will find the bife de lomo grilled and sauteed in different sauces like the reduction of Malbec wine or the Roquefort cream cheese sauce accompanied by Noisette potatoes. Any of the authentic sauces will make an excellent complement to the steak, providing a variety of different tastes and textures. Cut off a piece of steak, dip it in, and then enjoy a delicious explosion of flavor in your mouth.
