Asado Negro

Asado negro

Specialised

A whole beef muchacho redondo browned in CARAMELISED SUGAR or papelón until genuinely black, then braised slowly with onion, tomato and wine until it slices — served with white rice and the dark sweet gravy poured over. A Caracas and central-region dish, and a Sunday or celebration one. ⚠ THE BLACK IS SUGAR, NOT BURNING, and getting the caramel to the right point without bitterness is the whole technique.
