Prepare your grill with a mix of wood and charcoal, allowing it to burn down to glowing embers. The heat should be moderate, with a hand held above the grill for 5 seconds before it feels too hot.

Season the beef ribs generously with salt. Place them bone-side down on the grill, allowing them to cook slowly over indirect heat, turning occasionally until they are deeply browned and tender.
Watch outAvoid direct flames touching the meat to prevent charring; adjust the grill height or move the meat as needed.

Add chorizos to the grill, turning them occasionally until they are cooked through and have a slightly crispy skin, about 15-20 minutes.

Once the meats are done, let them rest for a few minutes to reabsorb juices. Serve with chimichurri sauce and enjoy the smoky aroma and rich flavors.
