Reading this article reminded me of one of our family evenings where we had an Argentine asado https://argentineasado.com/. Each of us brought our favorite spices, and in the end we created the perfect mixture for steaks! I especially remember the garlic and smoked paprika, which added incredible flavor. Your article inspires me to experiment with new spices. Thanks for the ideas!
