Argentinian Black Angus Bife de Tira

Argentinian Black Angus Bife de Tira is the kind of steak that belongs on a hot barbecue. It has a firm texture, plenty of beef flavour and really does not need much fuss. A hot grill, coarse salt and maybe a spoonful of chimichurri will do nicely. Sear it well on both sides, let it rest and slice against the grain before serving. That keeps the bite pleasant and lets the flavour of the beef come through. Exactly the sort of steak you want for a long evening around the grill.

What is Bife de Tira?

Bife de Tira is a South American steak that works particularly well over high heat. The cut is appreciated for its firm bite and pronounced beef flavour. Start it over a very hot grill to build a proper crust, then continue cooking to your preferred doneness. Once it comes off the heat, leave it to rest for a few minutes. That helps keep the juices in the meat when you start slicing. Always cut against the grain for the best texture. With a cut like this, the small details really matter. Good heat, good beef and a sharp knife will get you a long way.

Black Angus

Black Angus is known for beef with good marbling and plenty of flavour. Marbling refers to the fat running between the muscle fibres. Part of that fat renders during cooking and adds both juiciness and flavour. Angus cattle originate from Scotland and the breed has since spread across large parts of the world. The beef has a fine structure and is popular with steak lovers who enjoy a full beef flavour. That makes Black Angus a very good match for a barbecue cut such as Bife de Tira. Keep the seasoning simple and let the meat do the talking.
