15 minutes
Beef salad is a vibrant embodiment of Argentine cuisine's passion for meat and freshness. Its roots trace back to the country's traditional meat dishes, where beef holds a special place. In this salad, juicy beef tenderloin marinated with garlic and spices becomes the star, revealing its depth of flavor after a light grilling. Crunchy cucumbers, juicy tomatoes, and fresh frisée lettuce add contrasting texture, while mint and peanuts provide an unusual aroma at the finish. The unagi sauce dressing brings a subtle sweet umami note, making this salad a perfect balance of rich meat and refreshing elements. Served as a standalone dish or part of a festive spread, it carries the energy of Argentine cuisine and awakens the appetite from the first forkful.
