Our Favorite Argentinian Food in Buenos Aires at Parrilla Peña Steakhouse Travel Video Transcript:

So I know we always say we're excited about this meal but today it is extra special because we're bringing you to our favorite restaurant in all of Buenos Aires. This is a steakhouse. It is a Parrilla. That means they cook all of their meat on the grill. And it is seriously the best meat we've tried in the city. And we've ordered our favorite cut - Bife de Lomo. It is going to be amazing. We're waiting for that to show up.

So it wouldn't be a proper meal without a little bit of Vino Tinto. Yes, this is the house wine and it is actually very good for house wine. So anyways, what makes this our favorite restaurant in Buenos Aires. Well, you know traditional Argentine food is steak. And it is called Parrilla or Asado.

And this is the reason we came here. The star of the meal has arrived. The star of the meal. Bife de lomo. Look at this piece of beauty on my fork.

That is some of the most tender meat I've ever had in my entire life. You bite into it and it just disintegrates, it just melts right into your mouth. And it is so juicy and flavorful. It is just fantastic. This is the tenderloin in English. It is the best. And you know what makes this restaurant awesome. You know how you can tell you're in a really good steakhouse. They don't ask you how you want your steak. They don't say do you want it rare, do you want it medium rare, do you want it well done? No, they just make it the house way and they know what they're doing. So you get the best most optimal steak possible.

So it is now my turn. And I like to put Chimichurri on my steak.

Okay, so Sam what do you think sets Argentinian steak apart from steak in any other country. Well, Argentine steak has a reputation for being world class. It is considered one of the best steaks in the world and you know what I totally agree with that. What really sets it apart is they don't try to mask the steak with tonnes of barbecue sauce. Like if you look down here you can see. I don't know if you can see this but there is just a little bit of salt on top. What the real focus is is on grilling. Grilling it to perfection. Using the right temperature, cooking it for the right amount of time so it is a little bit crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. They have just got that down to perfection. Argentine steak is just world class. There is no other way to describe it. Yeah, take that Brazil.

Okay, so we've been stuffing ourselves for close to an hour. It is time to go home. So let's do price point. Okay, so in terms of price point we're going to focus on which is basically the nicest cut of meat in the house. That entire cut of meat was 270 Pesos which was about $18 US dollars. And that was for both of us. So when you think about that kind of value you're getting $9 per person and you're eating like some of the best steak of your entire life. So incredible value and again this is just the kind of place. Like I can't recommend it enough. I would call it a neighborhood parrilla. A neighborhood steakhouse. It is the kind of place that you go into and you see mostly locals are eating at. And when you see locals eating at a restaurant like this you know it is high quality because they are going to demand it. They're not going to come back if the food is not good. You can rip off a tourist but you're not going to rip off a local. And that is all I've got to say. Come here. Goodbye.
