- 10-12 pieces flanken cut beef short ribs
- 3 tbsp Maggi Seasoning
- 2 splashes Worcestershire Sauce
- 2 tbsp chipotle chili powder
- 2 tbsp smoked paprika
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tsp brown sugar
- 43-4 cloves garlic finely minced
- 1 lime, zest and juice plus additional limes, grilled, for garnish
- Coarsely ground kosher salt and black pepper to taste
- Wild mushrooms, sauteed
- Large eggs, fried
- Curtido (Salvadoran-style Kimchi)
- Jasmine rice prepared to al dente
In a bowl, mix together all the ingredients except the beef ribs. Place the beef ribs into a sealable plastic bag and separate them all so that they are not touching. Pour ¾ of the marinade into the bag over the ribs and seal the bag, removing all the air from it. Allow this to marinate for a minimum of 1 hour, but over night works well for this! (If marinating over night, use half the juice from the lime.)
Remove the ribs from the bag and pat excess marinade off. Preheat your grill on high over 2 burners. Once the grill has heated for 5-6 min and is RIPPING HOT, place the ribs (and spring onions if you choose to add them) onto the grill and let these cook for 2-3 minutes to get a good sear and char on the beef. Flip and repeat. Check the internal temperature of the ribs, as you are shooting for roughly 130 F internal. This will come fast, so keep an eye on them. Using the last ¼ of the marinade, feel free to baste the ribs in it to increase the flavour and char too!
Once the beef ribs are cooked to your liking, remove from the grill allow to rest for a 5 minutes.
You can eat these, as is, with a salad or rice and beans, or you can chop up the meat and serve as tacos with white onion, cilantro, charred spring onion and limes.
