Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Beef short ribs
- 1 pound Pork belly
- 4 links Chorizo sausages
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons Sea salt
- 1 tablespoon Black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
Instructions
Begin by preparing the grill. If using a charcoal grill, light the charcoal and allow it to burn until covered with a thin layer of gray ash, which will take about 30 minutes. If using a gas grill, preheat it to medium-high heat.
While the grill is heating, prepare the meats. Pat dry the beef short ribs, pork belly, chorizo sausages, and chicken thighs with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a small bowl, mix together the sea salt, black pepper, paprika, olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, and lemon juice to create a marinade rub.
Rub the marinade mixture thoroughly over all the pieces of meat, ensuring that each is well-coated.
Once the grill is ready, place the beef short ribs and pork belly on the grill first. These cuts take longer to cook, approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. Turn occasionally for even cooking.
After about 45 minutes, add the chorizo sausages to the grill. Cook them for about 30 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure an even char and cooking throughout.
Finally, add the chicken thighs to the grill. Cook them for about 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through cooking — ensure they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) when ready.
Throughout the grilling process, manage the heat to ensure it remains consistent, reducing flare-ups by moving meats around as necessary.
Once all the meats are cooked, remove them from the grill and let them rest for about 10 minutes before serving.
Serve the Keto Argentinian Asado with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh green salad to complement the flavors, while keeping it keto-friendly.
