Equipment

  • Grill

Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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.

Notes

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.
