ASADO NEGRO (VENEZUELAN-STYLE ROAST BEEF)
This traditional Venezuelan roast is extra tender owing to the ample amount of tangy caramel-wine sauce that helps seal in the delicious juices. Marinate the beef overnight for the best flavor in this slow-roasted special occasion dish. Serve the traditional way over rice or fried plantains to absorb every drop of the smooth, syrupy sauce.
