Uruguay · 1 city
Uruguay has more cattle than people, almost all of them grass-fed, and eats more beef per person than almost any other country. In Montevideo, steak is grilled over wood embers in parrillas, from the stalls of the Mercado del Puerto to neighbourhood restaurants.
Beef to know
Beef is grilled slowly over wood embers (leña) rather than gas or charcoal briquettes.
Most Uruguayan cattle are raised on pasture, and the country tracks every animal from birth.
Ask for "jugoso" for juicy and pink, "a punto" for medium and "bien cocido" for well done.
