Short answer:
- Cooking method: US barbecue usually means slow-cooking meat low-and-slow over smoke for hours. An asado is mostly grilling over an open fire or hot coals (parrilla) and often faster.
- Meats and seasoning: US BBQ features pork shoulder, ribs, brisket with dry rubs and strong sauces. Asado uses large whole cuts, short ribs, sausages and offal, seasoned simply with salt (and served with chimichurri).
- Flavor: US barbecue has smoky, sweet, tangy sauces and smoke flavors. Asado focuses on the natural meat taste and fire/char flavor.
- Culture: Both are social events, but asado is a specific ritual with an “asador” who controls the fire and serves many shared cuts.
That’s the main difference.
