Ingredients
- 2 kg mixed beef cuts
- 4 pcs chorizo
- 2 pcs morcilla
- 1 pcs to taste salt
Instructions
- Light a hardwood fire in your grill and let it burn down until you have glowing coals — use a combination of wood and charcoal for extra flavor and steady heat.
- Just before you start grilling, season the beef generously with salt to help lock in moisture and boost flavor.
- Place the beef on the grill, arranging the thickest pieces farther away from the coals.
- Begin cooking the beef on the grill, turning it occasionally to promote even doneness.
- After the beef has been cooking for a while, add the chorizo and morcilla to the grate.
- Continue grilling all the meats, turning them now and then, until they reach your desired level of doneness (ribs can take up to two hours; thinner cuts will cook more quickly).
- Remove the meats from the grill and allow them to rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
- Slice the meats and serve with chimichurri and grilled vegetables — optional sides include a fresh tomato salad, crusty bread, and a robust Malbec.
