    What are Flanken Short Ribs?

    Flanken-style short ribs are thinly sliced beef ribs, that are cut across the rib bones. Sometimes they are called cross cut ribs, as the meat is cut across the bones. Each strip of meat has several round rib bones. This is the cut of meat used for Korean Bbq Ribs, and has great flavor and fatty marbling.

    Asado Style Beef Ribs

    If your butcher or supermarket doesn't sell Asado ribs, then the regular Korean-style Flanken ribs work. However, ideally you want your Flanken Short Ribs cut a little bit thicker for Asado. Request this from your butcher if possible. In Argentina, it's called Asado de Tira.

    What is Asado?

    Asado is basically the South American way to bbq, including how it's grilled and the social gathering. It's not only beef ribs that are made, but different types of meats and sausages grilled over hot coals on a Parilla. It's a huge meat fest, served with wine, breads, grilled veggies and salads like Ensalada Rusa. Most people think of Argentina when you talk about Asado. I think this is the best flanken short ribs recipe.

    Ingredients You'll Need

    This recipe is made without any marinade. That's right. This grilled beef short ribs recipe uses only salt, generously. The salt helps draw out the fat and moisture, which makes the beef extra flavorful.

    • Kosher Salt - coarse salt crystals are best to elevate flavor
    • Flanken Ribs - cross cut Asado-style
    • Chimichurri Sauce - non-negotiable South American condiment

    Gas Grill or Hot Coals?

    You can use either method. Gas is more convenient and quicker. However, cooking over hot coals is always tastier like when you make Lamb Shashlik Skewers. If using hot bbq coals, use natural wood charcoal instead of the formed briquettes. You'll notice the difference in flavor when you use wood coals.

    How to Grill Short Ribs

    After your grill is ready, it's time to prepare the meat. There is no need to marinade beef short ribs as it's a flavorful cut of meat.

    • Generously sprinkle the ribs with coarse salt
    • Charcoal Bbq - Prepare a charcoal fire. Sear the ribs on both sides and move them over indirect heat until cooked.
    • Gas Bbq - Sear the ribs on both sides, and turn gas down to low. Turn ribs while they are cooking.
    • Short Cut Ribs aren't cooked fast as they are a chewier cut of meat due to the muscles and connective tissues. Lower temperature is the way to go.
    • These short ribs are never served rare, but medium-well to well done. Allow for about 20 minutes of grilling time.

    Flanken Short Ribs Sauce

    Keeping true to the South American vibe of this recipe, you need to make Chimichurri Sauce. Made from fresh herbs and garlic, the flavors really bring your ribs to life! Finely chop the ingredients. Mix in Olive Oil, vinegar and lemon juice and season to taste! It's that easy. Chimichurri Sauce is best prepared the night before to allow the flavors to infuse.

    • Parsley
    • Oregano
    • Garlic
    • Olive Oil
    • Vinegar
    • Lemon Juice
    • Salt and Pepper
    • Chili Flakes (optional)

    Sides for Flanken Short Ribs

    In the South American tradition, the sides to your grilled meat is sometimes more meat! Don't worry, I've included some vegetables ideas as well!

    • Grilled Zucchini
    • Chorizo (not kidding)
    • Cold Cuts and Cheeses (think Charcuterie board)
    • Pickled Vegetables
    • Garden Salad
    • Grilled Corn
    • Red Wine (not kidding)
    • Sourdough Bread - for mopping up the chimichurri sauce!
