Good steak, like good sushi, doesn’t need any embellishments. It lives and dies by the quality of the ingredients and the expertise of their handling, and I’ve found no better example of that in Hong Kong than Asado. The first time I visited this Argentine steakhouse run by Argentines was at its original Central location, just off Queen’s Road.
