Asado

Asado
Uruguay
⏱ — min. Serves: —

Ingredients

  • 4 lbs (1.8 kg) beef ribs (short ribs or back ribs)
  • 4 sausages (chorizo or morcilla)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) chimichurri sauce (for serving)
  • Coarse salt to taste

Instructions

Prepare the Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-low heat. In Uruguay, asado is traditionally cooked over wood or charcoal for a smoky flavor.

Season the Meat

Generously season the beef ribs with coarse salt. Let them sit for about 10-15 minutes to absorb the salt.

Grill the Meat

Place the beef ribs on the grill, bone-side down. Cook slowly over medium-low heat for about 1.5 to 2 hours, turning occasionally. The ribs should be cooked until they are tender and have a nice crust on the outside.

About 30 minutes before the ribs are done, add the sausages to the grill. Cook until they are browned and cooked through, turning occasionally.

Serve

Remove the beef ribs and sausages from the grill.

Let the meat rest for a few minutes before slicing the ribs into individual pieces.

Enjoy your meal!
