ROASTED BLACK
I want to start my journey in Steemit talking about a very traditional Venezuelan dish, which is prepared in any house in our country, and that also enjoys great sophistication.
Emerged a little more than a century ago, perhaps, by the carelessness of a cook who wore more of a cut of meat and in his eagerness to fix it was born this delight: "The Black Asado", slices of tender meat, dipped in a sauce quite dark with a sweet touch ... really exquisite!.

Nowadays it is common to prepare it for celebrations such as first communions and baptisms, it is a main dish and it is usually accompanied with white rice and slices, although you can make the combination you want.
Without further ado I leave the recipe, I hope you try it and can enjoy a bit of Venezuelan cuisine ...
