About the dish

Typically seasoned only with salt, then grilled for a few minutes, tira de asado is a famous Argentine dish consisting of long strips of grilled beef ribs. The beef is cross-cut in a way that the long strips of meat are interspersed with knots of rib bone, which are useful as they shorten the tough fibers of this cut of meat, making it suitable for grilling instead of being slowly cooked like in America. For the best results, pair the ribs with what else than the garlicky chimichurri sauce, a staple at most Argentine barbecues.
