Matambre
Matambre is a beef dish from Argentina and Uruguay. Of an Italian style, it is a rolled, flank steak filled with vegetables, eggs and herbs that is then boiled or oven-roasted. It can be served warm as a dish, or cold as delicatessen meat. When sliced, the different vegetables make a colourful display. It is often eaten with chimichurri sauce
Although it is not the national dish it is extremely popular in Argentina and holds a similar popularity in Uruguay. The term, a contraction of "Mata" and "hambre" can be translated into English as "hunger killer", as it is often served as an appetizer.
