Man Cooks Steaks On 65 C Road Surface To Prove Point

This is the moment a man cooks two steaks on the road surface to prove to doubtful pals that the weather really is as hot as he claims.

Marcos Tenaglia made the headlines in his native Argentina when he told friends in the eastern capital Buenos Aires that the northern region where he is working has temperatures of “over 60 degrees”.

The claim was doubted as the world’s official highest recorded temperature is 56.7 C (134 F) measured in 1913 at Death Valley California.

Currently helping families in need in the northern province of Santiago del Estero, Tenaglia insisted it was hotter locally and grabbed a frying pan and two juicy steaks to prove the point.

The man cooking the meat on the road

As seen in the video footage filmed by his friend Marcos, Tenaglia carries the meat over to a frying pan lying on the road surface.

Describing his actions to Marcos, Tenaglia places the steaks in the pan and begins to fry them.

After a short period, he turns them over and begins cooking the other side.

He is next seen tucking into the juicy steaks at a roadside table with a glass of wine.

According to Tenaglia, he had to stop the video because the temperatures had exceeded “65 degrees Celsius” (149 degrees Fahrenheit) and his phone was overheating.

He later said: “There are lot of sceptical people who said that it is not as hot as I said in Santiago del Estero, but now we are at 65 degrees.

“It is always between 60 and 65 degrees in this province and people do not believe that it can be so hot, therefore I am cooking meat on the road to show them.”

As Argentina is in the southern hemisphere it is currently in mid summer.
