Beef Short Ribs with Chimmichurri

Beef Short Ribs with Chimmichurri


Chimichurri is quite possibly the greatest relish conceived by mankind. You can buy it in the store premade, but fresh is always better. 

There are a lot of recipes for chimichurri on the internet. But basically it's chopped parsley, cilantro, garlic, and red chili, (I didn't have any red chilis in the garden that day so I put a jalapeno in it. Combine the chopped ingredients with some olive oil, red wine vinegar, and oregano and stir. Then cover and place in the fridge for a couple hours. 

Now for the short ribs. You're going to want an offset fire for this. Season the beef with black pepper and salt. This is a slow cook process keeping the air temperature in the grill around 300° then sear to crisp up. Place the meat on the cooler side of the grill and cook for around five hours. It's a must to add some hickory or oak. If you try this on anything else other than a good wood fire you're missing out. After the slow cook then sear. The sear gets that crispness of the rendered beef fat. You gotta get that bone hot. So I make sure I start the sear with the bone side down. 

Once you get a nice sear, pull off the grill and let it rest a bit, Then portion up and top with the chimichurri and enjoy.
