Ingredients

• 2 pounds Beef short ribs
• 1 pound Pork belly
• 4 links Chorizo sausages
• 4 pieces Chicken thighs
• 2 tablespoons Sea salt
• 1 tablespoon Black pepper
• 2 teaspoons Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Dried oregano
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the grill. If using a charcoal grill, light the charcoal and allow it to burn until covered with a thin layer of gray ash, which will take about 30 minutes. If using a gas grill, preheat it to medium-high heat.

Step 2

While the grill is heating, prepare the meats. Pat dry the beef short ribs, pork belly, chorizo sausages, and chicken thighs with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the sea salt, black pepper, paprika, olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, and lemon juice to create a marinade rub.

Step 4

Rub the marinade mixture thoroughly over all the pieces of meat, ensuring that each is well-coated.

Step 5

Once the grill is ready, place the beef short ribs and pork belly on the grill first. These cuts take longer to cook, approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. Turn occasionally for even cooking.

Step 6

After about 45 minutes, add the chorizo sausages to the grill. Cook them for about 30 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure an even char and cooking throughout.

Step 7

Finally, add the chicken thighs to the grill. Cook them for about 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through cooking — ensure they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) when ready.

Step 8

Throughout the grilling process, manage the heat to ensure it remains consistent, reducing flare-ups by moving meats around as necessary.

Step 9

Once all the meats are cooked, remove them from the grill and let them rest for about 10 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve the Keto Argentinian Asado with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh green salad to complement the flavors, while keeping it keto-friendly.
