In the search for the best steak in NYC, there’s a shortcut every true meat lover knows… For the truth is that the most premium cuts aren’t just found—they come from Argentinian steak, in NYC and around the world.
Because it’s not just about the quality of the meat, but also about the ritual that has developed over time—through parrilladas and long Sunday asados, where grilling is more than cooking; it’s pure tradition.
There’s a unique folklore behind the Argentine grill, one that stands apart from any other. So if you’re in NYC and looking for the best steak—the best Argentinian steak—you’re in the right place. Let’s get to it.
Introduction to Argentinian Steak Culture
Argentine cuisine is world-renowned for its focus on high-quality steak and traditional cooking methods. At the core of this culture is the Argentine grill, also known as the parrilla, where meats are cooked over an open flame or charcoal to enhance their natural flavors. Unlike other steakhouses that rely on heavy seasoning, Argentinian asado focuses on simplicity—letting the quality of the meat shine with just a touch of salt and smoky heat.
But what truly defines the Argentine grill isn’t just the meat—it’s the ritual that surrounds it. Because in the end, every Argentinian parrillada is really just a delicious excuse to gather around the fire with family and friends.
Slowly, one by one, the finest, juiciest cuts come off the grill—not rushed, but savored—feeding not just appetites, but conversations. Meanwhile, as the coals crackle and glow, Argentine tables wait, packed with the essential side dishes: creamy mashed potatoes, mixed salads, crispy fries and grilled vegetables.
It may sound like too much food, yes, but the key pillar of this ritual is that, in Argentinian culture, every good parrillada is made to be shared. So if you’re looking for the best Argentinian steak in NYC, you’re really searching for something bigger—the best of Argentine food culture itself: high-quality steak and moments best spent in the company of your loved ones.

How to Pair Argentinian Steak with Wine
No Argentinian steak experience is complete without the right wine. Argentina is world-renowned for its Malbec, a deep, full-bodied red that pairs perfectly with grilled meats. But Malbec is just the beginning—at Baires Grill NYC, we offer a carefully curated selection of wines to enhance every cut on our menu.
Malbec: The Classic Pairing
If you’re enjoying a Ribeye Steak (Ojo de Bife) or Cowboy Steak, a classic Malbec is the perfect match.
Options like Catena Malbec La Consulta or El Enemigo Malbec –straight from Mendoza, the Argentine wine paradise– bring rich fruit flavors and smooth tannins that complement the charred, smoky notes of the meat.
Cabernet Sauvignon: A Strong, Elegant Choice
For those who prefer a more structured wine, Cabernet Sauvignon is a great pairing for cuts like the New York Steak (Bife de Chorizo) or Filet Mignon (Lomo).
Blends & Other Reds: Complex & Balanced
If you’re sharing a parrillada, a blend like Clos de los Siete by Michel Rolland or the Norton Privada Blend can balance the variety of meats and flavors on the table. These wines offer layered complexity, making them ideal for an Argentinian asado experience.
White & Sparkling Wines: A Refreshing Contrast
While reds dominate Argentine cuisine, white wines and champagne also have their place. The Colomé Torrontés is a fresh, floral option that pairs beautifully with lighter dishes, while Alta Vista Brut Rosé adds a festive touch to any fine steak.
At Baires Grill NYC, we believe that great steak deserves great wine. Whether you’re a Malbec lover or looking to explore new flavors, our selection offers the perfect pairing for every single bite. We’re here to ensure your Argentinian steak NYC experience is nothing short of perfection.
