Flank Steak Pizza a.k.a. Matambre a la Pizza
Sure, we’re supposed to feature baked goods here in the featured recipes, but Argentinians consider barbecue a form of “high baking,” so today we are cooking Matambre a la Pizza or Flank Steak Pizza - a combination of two things Argentinians love: meat and pizza. Matambre is the name of the very thin cut of beef taken from between the skin and the ribs, known as flank steak here in the US. Fire up the grill and enjoy - it’s gluten-free!
Put salt and pepper on the meat and let it sit while you get the grill fire going.
Place the meat when the grill is hot.
Then have mate with mom while the meat cooks.
Making the "Pizza"
Once one side is cooked, flip it over and immediately put the tomatoes, onions and then the cheese.
Cover it with tin foil to help melt the cheese.
When the cheese is melted, take it off the fire.
Sprinkle fresh oregano or basil on top.
Devour.

Argentinian Halloween
Argentinians don’t normally celebrate Halloween, so I am unaccustomed to this custom. My first attempt at culinary gore is an orange bread with bloody berry guts spilling out from a sugar knife-inflicted wound. Fortunately, the neighbors didn’t call the cops. It’s quite tasty!
Ingredients
Orange Bread: 7/8 cup or 7 oz of butter 1/2 cup of sugar 3 eggs 1 1/3 cup of flour 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 cup of orange juice Orange zest
Blood and Guts: 1 bag frozen mixed berries 2/3 cup of powdered sugar 4 tablespoons berry juices
Candy Knife: 1 cup of sugar
Instructions
Making the Bread
Preheat oven to 350F.
Mix butter and sugar.
Add lemon zest.
Slowly add the sifted dry ingredients (flour, baking powder and salt) until doughy.
Place the batter in a bread loaf pan with parchment paper.
Bake for 35-45 minutes. Test with toothpick to see if done. If it comes out clean (no blood), it's ready. Remove from oven and let it cool.
Blood and Guts
Cook the frozen berries until they release some juice.
Strain the berries and set aside.
Add powdered sugar to remaining juice juice and heat for a couple more seconds.
Drip and drizzle the juicy mixture on top of the orange bread to make it bleed.
Use leftover berries as guts to surround the bread wound with.
Sugar Knife
Heat 1 cup of sugar until it turns into a brown liquid.
As soon as it gets syrupy, drizzle onto a piece of parchment paper in the form of a knife. It will harden fast. Watch out it is very hot!
When hardened, stab the knife into the top of the bread.
