What is the difference between a barbecue from the United States and an asado from Spanish-

speaking countries?

Write your answer in English.

An asado and a barbecue are similar in terms of the technique, they both refer to the practice of grilling or cooking meat and other food items outdoors on a grill that can use fuel like charcoal, wood, or propane.

Explanation:

There are obviously cultural differences between what constitutes a barbecue in the United States and Spanish-speaking countries. And there are differences between the Spanish-speaking countries in this regard as well. Argentina, for example, produces a lot of beef for national consumption and for export. Therefore, parrilladas or asados are a very big part of their culture and they have a certain style and different cuts of meat than in North America, like "asado de tira" which is cut at a different angle than short ribs are in the United States. The Argentinians generally use nothing but salt when cooking their meat, whereas Americans like to use different kinds of sauce. In the southern United States, barbecue can refer to a specific dish of roasted pork that varies regionally in terms of the kinds of sauces and techniques that are used. Both the American and the Spanish-speaking traditions usually have outdoor barbecues where they get together with family and friends to socialize and enjoy their meal.
