Ingredients

Carne
  • 1piece de Angus Window Ribs
Tempero
  • Homemade Barbecue Grilling Salt
Combustível
  • Wood

Instructions

1
cortar

On the top side (matambre/deckle) of the ribs, make deep cross-hatch cuts, following Marcos Bassi's technique, to create an appetizer from the meat.

3min

Dica: The cuts should be deep, without hitting the lower membrane, so they serve as an appetizer after cooking.

2
preparar

Flip the ribs and leave the bottom side (membrane) intact, as it is crucial for retaining moisture and ensuring the tenderness of the meat.

1min

Dica: Do not remove the membrane from the beef ribs.

3
temperar

Generously season both sides of the ribs with the grilling salt. Do not hesitate to use plenty of salt, as any excess will be lost during the roast.

3min

Dica: Be generous with the amount of salt; only what is necessary will remain on the meat.

4
assar

Position the ribs on the grill with the bone side facing down, on the second tier of the setup, away from direct coals, as these ribs will be slow-roasted, without adding aluminum foil or plastic wrap.

2min

Dica: These ribs are traditionally prepared solely over coals, for the necessary amount of time.

5
defumar

Add wood to the grill to enhance the smoky flavor of the meat during the cooking process.

1min

Dica: The wood contributes to the characteristic smoky flavor.

6
assar

Roast the ribs with the bones down for a minimum of six hours.

360min

Dica: The total cooking time can reach up to eight hours for the ideal doneness.

7
assar

After the cooking time, flip the ribs and leave them over the fire for a brief period to brown the top side.

5min

Dica: Flip the meat at the very end just to achieve a pleasant color.

8
cortar

Remove the pieces from the grill and, first, cut and serve the 'tambre' (the initial cuts made on the deckle) as an appetizer.

5min

Dica: The 'tambre,' well-roasted, separates easily and is delicious to taste first.

9
cortar

Cut the rest of the ribs into portions for serving, noting the juiciness and how easily the bones separate from the meat.

5min

Dica: Ribs that are slow-roasted only have a much more pronounced barbecue flavor.
