Treat your ingredients with care...

• Beef Ribs — Choose ribs with a good amount of meat on them for a juicier result.
• Smoked Paprika — Use high-quality smoked paprika to enhance the smoky flavor of the ribs.
• Fresh Parsley — Opt for fresh parsley as it adds a vibrant and aromatic touch to the chimichurri sauce.

Tips & Tricks

• For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the spice rub.
• Let the beef ribs rest for a few minutes after grilling to allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful meat.
• If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the ribs in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 1 hour.
