Asado de Tira: the Argentinian or South American short rib cut. The ribs are thinly sliced from the cross rib and are perfect for grilling. This cut can also be found in some Asian recipes.
Meat knowledge
The thinly sliced strips of short rib are called "asado de tira" or "tira de asado" in South America. Fitmeat's Asado de Tira comes from the Austrian veal calf, also known as the heifer. It is suitable for a wide range of South American dishes and is excellent for roasting.
When you compare Asado de Tira with other cuts, one thing becomes clear relatively quickly: no cut can hold a candle to it. The flavour is much more intense, more marbled than a rib-eye and even meatier than other steaks. The cross-rib cut simply has it all.
Asado de Tira on the barbecue
This cut requires sensitivity and patience. The meat tastes best when it is grilled very slowly. This allows it to develop its full flavour and makes it incredibly juicy.
Argentinean cut of Austrian veal
Calf, or heifer, refers to female cattle that have not yet calved. The meat has a beautiful dark red colour and very fine fibres. The meat also has a special marbling which enhances the flavour.
This special marbling is the result of the slow growth of the heifers, which ensures fine fat storage. The combination of well distributed fat in the muscles and dry curing gives the meat a distinctly full-bodied flavour.
Quantity per person
One kilogram of Asado de Tira - Short Ribs is enough for four people.
Herkunft und Haltung
Quality is our top priority and, when it comes to beef, a few factors are crucial. These include the perfect breed of cattle, the age of the animals and optimum feeding, free from concentrated feed.
However, this alone is not enough to meet our requirements. We don't do things by halves when it comes to the quality of our meat products! That's why 100% of our animals come from Austria. The farms are located in the lake district of the Salzkammergut in beautiful Upper Austria.
At Fitmeat, we also only process the finest meat from heifers, also known as calves, and steers. The meat has a wonderful marbling and a delicious flavour. Our classic cattle breeds also include Red-Angus, Black-Angus, Charolais, Limousin, White-Blue Belgian and Wagyu, as well as various crossbreeds.
Our cattle are 4x AT labelled. This means that birth, rearing, slaughter and cutting take place 100% in Austria. The value chain therefore remains entirely in Austria. We distance ourselves from long animal transports and select our partners very carefully. We therefore rely on animals that are kept in a species-appropriate manner, born and raised by small farmers, and on butchers who know both the farmer and the animal personally.
Our butchers allow the cuts to mature on the bone for a long time. This gives us first-class, well-hung meat that does not lose any water during roasting and can be enjoyed with a clear conscience.
