Season Your Gaucho Beef Ribs For this gaucho beef ribs recipe, we’re working with two thick slabs of beef: aka beef plate ribs! You’ll start by slathering them in canola oil and coating them with Gaucho Steakhouse Rub which is made up of a perfect blend of seasonings and dried vegetables like red bell pepper, zucchini, and onion. This gives the exterior of the meat a salty spiciness and an irresistible crunch. Don’t be shy because we want all that flavor! For more beef ribs, check out my Chipotle Black Pepper Smoked Beef Ribs, Tomahawk Beef Short Ribs and Smoked Wagyu Beef Back Ribs. You can take the flavor up a notch by adding a simple blend of kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. These additional spices aren’t necessary for a delicious result but can you ever really go wrong by adding more seasonings? I don’t think so! Grill ‘Em Up – Gaucho Beef Rib Style Next, GRILL! First, place the ribs in a grilling basket and secure them for slow cooking next to the fire. Alternatively, if you don’t have a grill cage, you can place them on the grill 6-8 inches from the hot coals for the same result. Next, heat your grill to around 275-300ºF for a medium-low heat fire, and then add the gaucho beef ribs to the grill with the bone side facing away from the fire. Keep them 6-8 inches away from the fire. We’re cooking low and slow for ultimate tenderness. If they’re too close to the heat, the outsides will burn before the insides are done cooking! Grill your ribs for an initial 30 minutes until they develop a good crust, and then flip them so the bone side is facing the fire. Now, we wait. But, let me tell you, it’s oh so worth it! Let the ribs cook on the grill for 3.5-4 more hours. Be sure you baste the ribs with beer or beef broth every 30 minutes so that they stay ultra moist. No dry meat allowed here! Red Onion & Herb Sauce for Our Gaucho Beef Ribs While your beef ribs are cooking, you can whip up a batch of red onion & herb sauce. It’s a tangy, spicy, slightly sweet sauce, and it complements the savory gaucho beef ribs perfectly. In a bowl, combine the chopped herbs, red wine vinegar, pickled red onions, pickled jalapeños, garlic, olive oil, and salt. Then, mix it all up and it’s ready to go! More with Beef Ribs Serve Your Gaucho Beef Ribs When the gaucho beef ribs are done, the meat should be tender enough to be easily pulled away from the bone. I like to also check the internal temperature to make sure it’s somewhere between 180ºF and 200ºF. Pull them off the grill and allow them to rest for 20 minutes. We let the meat rest after it cooks because we want to let flavor and juices redistribute before slicing into it. Now, we serve! Top the ribs with the prepared red onion and herb sauce and devour!
