خطوة بخطوة

1. 1

   Prepare your grill for indirect cooking, aiming for a medium-low heat (around 120-150°C or 250-300°F). If using charcoal, arrange coals to one side.

   ملاحظة الطاهي: Using natural lump charcoal provides the best flavor for asado.

2. 2

   Pat the beef short ribs and flank steak dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and black pepper on all sides.

   ملاحظة الطاهي: Drying the meat helps create a better crust.

3. 3

   Place the beef short ribs on the cooler side of the grill, bone-side down if applicable. Close the lid and cook for about 60 minutes, turning occasionally.

   ملاحظة الطاهي: Slow cooking helps tenderize the tougher cuts.

4. 4

   Add the pork chorizo to the grill, placing them on the cooler side as well. Continue cooking for another 30 minutes, turning occasionally, alongside the short ribs.

   حوالي 30 د

   ملاحظة الطاهي: Ensure chorizos are cooked through; an internal temperature of 71°C (160°F) is ideal.

5. 5

   Increase the grill temperature to medium-high (around 200-230°C or 400-450°F) by adding more coals or adjusting gas burners. Move the short ribs and chorizo to a warmer spot if needed.

   حوالي 5 د

   ملاحظة الطاهي: If using charcoal, spread some coals directly under the meat for searing.

6. 6

   Place the flank steak directly over the higher heat. Grill for 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached.

   حوالي 10 د

   ملاحظة الطاهي: Flank steak cooks quickly, so watch it closely to avoid overcooking.

7. 7

   Once all meats are cooked, remove them from the grill and transfer to a cutting board. Tent loosely with foil and let rest for 10 minutes.

   حوالي 10 د

   ملاحظة الطاهي: Resting allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in more tender and flavorful meat.

8. 8

   Slice the flank steak against the grain into thin pieces. Serve the short ribs and chorizo whole or sliced, alongside chimichurri sauce if desired.

   ملاحظة الطاهي: Slicing against the grain makes flank steak more tender to eat.
