Ingredients
- 4 pieces Beef short ribs
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs, bone-in, skin-on
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Red wine vinegar
- 0.5 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh oregano, chopped
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 2 teaspoons Sea salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 Lemon, juiced
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the chimichurri sauce: In a bowl, combine the olive oil, red wine vinegar, chopped parsley, chopped oregano, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, and salt and black pepper. Stir in the lemon juice. Let it sit at room temperature to blend flavors.
Step 2
Pat the beef short ribs and chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both generously with 1 teaspoon of sea salt each.
Step 3
Prepare the grill for medium-high heat.
Step 4
Brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking. Place the beef short ribs on the grill, meaty side down, and cook for about 8-10 minutes per side, or until nicely browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness (medium to medium-rare is ideal). Remove and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
Step 5
While the ribs are cooking, place chicken thighs skin-side down on the grill. Grill for about 7-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the skin is crispy. Transfer to a platter and rest for a few minutes.
Step 6
Serve the grilled beef ribs and chicken with chimichurri sauce drizzled on top or on the side for dipping. Enjoy your Whole30 Argentinian Asado!
