4 lbs beef short ribs
2 lbs beef ribeye or sirloin steak
2 tsp sea salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tsp dried oregano
2 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

1

Pat 4 lbs beef short ribs and 2 lbs beef ribeye or sirloin steak dry and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
2

Preheat grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F).
3

Season all beef generously with 2 tsp sea salt and 1 tsp black pepper on both sides.
4

Make chimichurri sauce: combine 1 cup finely chopped fresh parsley, 4 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 cup red wine vinegar, 1/2 cup olive oil, 1 tsp dried oregano, and 2 tbsp lemon juice in a bowl. Set aside.
5

Place 4 lbs beef short ribs on the grill, bone-side down, and close the lid. Cook for 40-50 minutes, turning every 10 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 130-135°F for medium-rare.
6

Place 2 lbs beef ribeye or sirloin steak on the grill during the last 15-20 minutes of rib cooking. Grill 4-6 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 130-135°F.
7

Transfer all meat to a warm platter and let rest for 10 minutes.
8

Serve with chimichurri sauce on the side and drizzled over the meat.

Questions

How long does Asado Argentino keep?

Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat them within three days. Reheat in a hot skillet rather than the microwave to keep the char.

Can I halve or double Asado Argentino?

Yes. As written it serves 6. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. Doubling on the grill just takes more surface area; keep the heat zones the same.
