About the dish

Vacío is an Argentinian beef cut that comes from the flank of the cow. The outer layer has fat, unlike the inside one, and turns incredibly crispy when cooked. This cut is a rare find outside of Argentina and benefits from long and slow cooking. The cut can be divided into a thick, meaty part usually served in a sandwich called vaciopán , and a thin, fatty part called matambre , which can be prepared in many ways, either grilled, stuffed and rolled, or topped with tomato sauce and cheese similar to pizza.
