Main Course
Ojo de Bife
Grilled Argentine Rib Eye, Chips provenzal, Chimichurri
Paired with Argentine Red Wine (Luigi Bosca Malbec 2015)
Huge chunk of beauty came all the way from Argentina, grilled to perfection with the fats melted and proportionated well with the lean part. Succulent and tender. Touched up with the Chimichurri sauce that is made of finely chopped parsley, minced garlic, oregano and many more. Pretty exotic! Love the chips too that was tossed with aromatic herbs! Portion was really huge though.
