So far, Autumn weather has been pleasantly kind this year. A balmy evening after a warm and humid day tends to leave one craving a red wine and a good steak. At least, it does in our experience.

Although to be fair, ALL weather leaves us craving wine and steak, and there's one perfect spot for acquiring said wine and steak.

Asado is open every day, walk in or make a booking.

So many scrumptious offerings available at Asado... but sometimes you need to keep things simple.

Well this is basically a single ingredient. It is simplicity - perfected, in the form of a perfectly charcoal-grilled steak.

MALBEC MONTH

April 17th marks World Malbec Day, commemorating Argentina’s commitment in 1853 to what would become its signature grape. We decided one day wasn't enough for us, so we're celebrating the occasion across the entire month, with a very special selection of Malbec poured by the glass.

As the exclusive Australian importer of Mendel and Revancha wines, we are taking this opportunity to raise a glass to one of Argentina's most respected and renowned winemakers, Roberto de la Mota. It’s your chance to explore some of Argentina's very best Malbecs, right here in Melbourne, all throughout April.

Walk in or make a booking and ask about our special selection of Malbecs - which are also available on Vino Del Mundo's website!

¡Salud!

Why does red wine pair so well with red meat?
Is this just a tradition, or is there something more going on?

It turns out these two indulgences were made for each other. The tannins in the wine act as a partial palate cleanser, making each bite of a steak just as juicy and flavourful as the first. The rich fats and proteins of the meat balance out the more dry flavours of the wine, making it silky and smooth.

This match-made-in-heaven can be experienced at the very highest level at Asado. Let our experienced staff curate the ultimate pairing for you, choosing from our list of well over 100 top-quality wines from around Argentina, and the world.

Perhaps you've seen it, as you strolled past our Southbank windows?

The dry-ager, home to slumbering slices of top-quality meat. We sit these hocks in stasis, allowing the moisture to evaporate out of the meat, concentrating flavour and giving you an unbelievably complex and delicious steak.

Asado's meats can easily age for over a month. Deliciousness like this requires patience, and is well worth the wait!
