The DNA of the grill<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>roast strip<\/strong> is the transverse cut of the veal ribs. Unlike the whole rib, the strip is cut in sections of a few centimeters, leaving the bone visible. It is this bone which, when heated on the grill, provides a flavor and juiciness that others <strong>argentine cuts<\/strong> simply cannot match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In our menu, we highlight the <strong>Middle Roast Strip Roast (500 grs.)<\/strong>, selected precisely because it is the area where meat and fat are best balanced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Visual guide: How to identify a good strip roast<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a roast strip to be of \u00abPremium\u00bb quality, at <a href=\"https:\/\/bacacay.es\/en\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/bacacay.es\/\"><strong>Bacacay<\/strong><\/a> we look at three fundamental details:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Fat infiltration:<\/strong> It should have small white streaks that will melt with heat, ensuring that the meat is not dry.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bone color:<\/strong> A clean white bone indicates a young animal, which guarantees a tender texture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Proportion of meat:<\/strong> We look for the cut to have a good \u00abblanket\u00bb of meat on the bone so that the bite is generous.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The secret of cooking: Timing and fire in Bacacay<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike other cuts that are quickly seared, strip roast requires patience. Our griller applies the traditional technique to achieve the perfect point:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Bone side first:<\/strong> It is always placed with the bone towards the coals for most of the time. This allows the heat to be transmitted gently and evenly to the meat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Moderate fire:<\/strong> We are not looking for a strong flame, but a constant heat that caramelizes the outside while keeping the inside juicy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The ideal point:<\/strong> Although taste is personal, the strip roast is best enjoyed when it is \u00abjust right\u00bb, allowing the meat to easily fall off the bone.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why our roast strip is different<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/bacacay.es\/en\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/bacacay.es\/\">Bacacay<\/a><\/strong>, Food is a social act and we are proud of our heritage.

How much does a barbecue strip cost in Bacacay?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our <strong>Middle Roast Strip Roast (500 grs.)<\/strong> is priced at <strong>16,5 \u20ac<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2.

What is the difference between the Tira de Asado and the Chulet\u00f3n?<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>The strip roast is the cross-section of the rib (with small, flat bone), while the T-bone steak is the high loin with its long bone. The strip has a more intense flavor due to the fat adhering to the bone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4.
