Ingredients

• 2 lbs beef short ribs or strip steak (asado cut)
• 4 chorizo sausages
• 2 tablespoons kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon dried oregano
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Fresh chimichurri sauce (optional)
• Lemon wedges

Instructions

1. Prepare your grill to medium-high heat and let it preheat for 10 minutes.
2. Pat the asado meat dry and season generously with salt, pepper, and oregano on both sides.
3. Place the asado on the hottest part of the grill and sear for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare.
4. Move the asado to a cooler zone and continue cooking to desired doneness, about 15-20 minutes total.
5. Place chorizo sausages on the grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning frequently until cooked through and charred.
6. Let the meat rest for 5 minutes before serving.
7. Slice the asado against the grain and serve with chorizo, chimichurri sauce, and fresh lemon wedges.

Tips & Notes

• Use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness: 130-135°F for medium-rare
• Let meat come to room temperature before grilling for even cooking
• Don’t skip the resting period – it keeps the meat juicy
• Traditional Argentine asado uses specific beef cuts; ask your butcher for asado or tira de asado
• Serve with chimichurri sauce made from fresh parsley, garlic, vinegar, and olive oil
