Servings: 4-6
Ingredients
- Beef ribs (2-3 pounds)
- Chimichurri sauce (1 cup)
- Potatoes (4 medium-sized, washed and sliced into thick rounds)
- Olive oil (1/4 cup, divided)
- Garlic powder (1 teaspoon)
- Paprika (1 teaspoon)
- Black pepper (1 teaspoon)
- Salt (1 teaspoon)
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Season the beef ribs generously with this spice blend.
- Drizzle half of the olive oil over the seasoned ribs and rub the spices into the meat to ensure even coating.
- Place the ribs on the grill and cook for about 30-40 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness. Baste with remaining olive oil occasionally to keep them moist.
- While the ribs are grilling, prepare the potatoes by brushing them with the remaining olive oil and seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Place the potato slices on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Once the ribs and potatoes are done, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes to lock in the juices.
- Serve the Argentine Asado with the grilled potatoes and a generous drizzle of chimichurri sauce on the side.
