Ingredients
Scale
4 pounds beef short ribs, flanken-cut (about 1/2 inch thick)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
For the Chimichurri:
1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 small red onion, finely diced
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
1/2 cup olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Season the short ribs with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Prepare the Chimichurri: In a medium bowl, combine the finely chopped parsley, cilantro, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, diced red onion, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Slowly whisk in 1/2 cup of olive oil until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Set aside.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400-450°F or 200-230°C).
Place the short ribs on the hot grill. Grill for 4-6 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness. For medium-rare, an internal temperature of 130-135°F (54-57°C) is ideal.
Remove the short ribs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled short ribs with a generous amount of the homemade Chimichurri sauce.
Notes
Flanken-cut short ribs are ideal for grilling as they cook quickly and evenly.
You can prepare the Chimichurri ahead of time. It tastes even better after sitting for a few hours.
Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes in the Chimichurri to your spice preference.
For a richer flavor, you can marinate the short ribs in the olive oil, salt, and pepper mixture for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
