Grilled Black Angus rice: the gastronomic jewel of Granada that you must try
At ARO21 we have created a dish that represents our essence: grilled Black Angus rice. We combine quality meat, marked with oak fire, with rice cooked slowly in an iron pan, respecting the product and the process. The result is a honeyed, tasty dish full of smoky nuances, which can only be found here. For us, it's not just rice and meat: it's a gastronomic experience with its own identity.
At ARO21 we have always been clear that cooking is not just technique, but emotion. We wanted to create a dish that would unite two of our passions: Grilled meat and well-done rice. This is how one of the dishes that gives us the most pride was born: our grilled Black Angus rice.
A dish that represents what we are: fire, product, respect and flavor.
🥩 Black Angus: meat with character
We select meat from Black Angus for its deep flavor, juiciness and unmistakable texture. It is a meat that does not need disguise or ornaments. We mark it on grilled oak to seal all its juices, and then we add it to the rice so that each piece provides intensity and authenticity.
We work with cuts that guarantee a balance between fat and fiber, because we want the experience to be perfect from the first bite.
🍚 Our rice: technique and patience
Cooking grilled rice requires more time, more attention and more precision. But we prefer it that way. We make the base base with natural ingredients and slow cooking, and cook the rice in iron pan directly over the oak fire.
We leave it at its right point: neither dry nor hot. Meloso, with soul. Each grain captures the flavor of the base, the aroma of the grill and the juice of the meat.
🔥 The power of grilling
Everything in this dish goes through the fire. Oak smoke is part of the ingredient. We want it to be noticed, but without stealing the spotlight. Barbecuing is what unites flavors, what transforms rice into something that is not forgotten.
We don't use haste, we don't use shortcuts. Only real fire, good product and hands that know what they're doing.
🍷 The perfect pairing
We love to suggest a good young red wine, with fruit and freshness, that accompanies without overshadowing. It also works great with a full-bodied rosé or even with a good toasted beer. But what we like the most is that each person enjoys it in their own way.
📍 A dish that you will only find here
This rice is not common. We haven't copied it or improvised it. It's ours. We thought about it, tested it and refined it until it moved us. And now we want to share it with you.
We don't always have it, because it requires preparation. But when we serve it, we know that it leaves no one indifferent.
✍️ This is how we understand the kitchen
For us, cooking this rice isn't just about preparing a dish. It's a way of showing what we are. Because that's what ARO21 is: fire, ingredients with history, and a desire to do things well.
If you are looking for a rice with meat that will truly surprise you, come and try it. We promise it's unlike anything you've tried before.
