Latin America is a region known for its rich meat culture, where each country has its own traditions, cuts, and preparation techniques that make every bite a unique experience. At Denver in Medellín, we honor these traditions and draw inspiration from the flavors and techniques of various Latin American countries to create a menu that celebrates the best of Latin American meat. Join us on this journey through Latin American meat traditions and discover how Denver has integrated these flavors and techniques into a unique culinary experience.

1. Argentina: The Art of Asado and Sirloin Steak

In Argentina, the asado is much more than a meal; it’s a social and cultural event where meat is slowly cooked over embers to preserve its juices and enhance its flavor. One of the most iconic cuts is the Sirloin Steak, a juicy and tender cut known for its layer of fat that adds a deep flavor.

At Denver: We are inspired by the Argentine style when preparing our Sirloin Steak on the grill, highlighting its natural flavor with slow, high-temperature cooking. Served with a homemade chimichurri sauce, this dish pays homage to Argentine tradition, offering our guests an authentic taste of Latin American meat culture.

2. Brazil: The Grill and Picanha

Brazil is famous for its churrasco tradition, where meat is cooked on large grills in a rodizio style. One of the most popular cuts in Brazil is the Picanha, a lean cut with a distinctive “C” shape fat cap that adds intense flavor and juiciness when grilled.

At Denver: The Picanha on our menu is prepared to bring out its tenderness and unique flavor profile. Inspired by Brazilian tradition, we serve this cut with fresh side dishes and a simple preparation that lets the natural flavors of the meat shine with every bite.

3. Colombia: Flavor and Tradition with Lomo al Trapo

In Colombia, one of the most traditional techniques is Lomo al Trapo, where beef tenderloin is wrapped in salt and cooked directly on embers. This method allows the meat to absorb a smoky flavor while remaining tender and juicy.

At Denver: While we adapt some techniques for the restaurant setting, Denver is inspired by Colombia’s Lomo al Trapo to offer cuts that reflect the richness of local culture. Our version combines the smoky flavor and tender texture with fresh ingredients to enhance the experience.

4. Uruguay: Quality and Simplicity with Ribeye

Uruguay is known for its high-quality beef, and one of its most representative cuts is the Ribeye, generally cooked on open grills that allow direct contact with the embers, highlighting the natural flavor of the meat.

At Denver: In homage to Uruguayan tradition, our Ribeye is prepared with coarse salt and cooked to an optimal time that enhances its flavors without overwhelming the cut. This simple and natural approach allows guests to enjoy a high-quality cut at its best, inspired by the classic Uruguayan style.

5. Mexico: Charcoal-Grilled Fajitas and Cuts

In Mexico, meat is often grilled over charcoal to achieve a smoky flavor and a crispy texture on the outside. Beef fajitas are an example of how Mexican grilling highlights meat with spices and marinades that bring out the flavor of each cut.

At Denver: We offer our own version inspired by Mexican cuisine, with marinated, charcoal-grilled cuts that capture that distinctive flavor. We serve our meats with fresh salsas and sides, inviting guests to enjoy an authentic Mexican-style meat experience.
