Authentic Argentinian Asado Recipe - Grilled Beef Delight

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 4 lbs beef short ribs (cut into large pieces)
  • 2 tablespoons coarse salt (for seasoning)
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper (freshly ground)
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 cup chimichurri sauce (for serving)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for grilling)
  • 2 pieces whole bell peppers (for grilling)
  • 1 piece onion (cut into wedges for grilling)
  • 8 pieces tortillas (for serving)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Beef

    Season the beef short ribs with coarse salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Let them sit for at least 30 minutes.

    For best flavor, marinate overnight.
  2. Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with olive oil.

    Ensure the grill is hot enough to sear the meat.
  3. Grill the Beef

    Place the seasoned beef short ribs on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side or until desired doneness.

    Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.
  4. Grill the Vegetables

    While the beef is grilling, add the whole bell peppers and onion wedges to the grill. Cook until charred and soft.

    Turn the vegetables occasionally for even cooking.
  5. Serve

    Remove the beef and vegetables from the grill. Let the beef rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with chimichurri sauce and tortillas.

    Pair with a fresh salad for a complete meal.

💡 Tips & Tricks
