Instruction

  • Prepare the Fire: Start a wood fire in your grill and let it burn down to coals
  • Season the Meat: Generously salt the beef cuts
  • Grill the Meat: Place the beef on the grill, starting with the thickest cuts farthest from the coals
  • Add chorizo and morcilla after the beef has been cooking for a while
  • Cook to Perfection: Cook the meat, turning occasionally, until it reaches your desired doneness
  • Typically, ribs may take up to 2 hours; thinner cuts will cook faster
  • Rest and Serve: Let the meat rest for about 10 minutes before slicing
  • Serve with chimichurri sauce and grilled vegetables
  • Pro Tips: Use a mix of wood and charcoal for a consistent heat source
  • Wood adds flavor, while charcoal maintains temperature
  • Season the meat just before grilling to ensure it retains its moisture and flavor
  • Serving Suggestions: Serve with a side of chimichurri sauce, a fresh tomato salad, and crusty bread
  • Pair with a robust Malbec wine to complement the rich flavors of the meat
