Tips for best results

Pork ribs on the grill is also known as Argentinian asado. For best results, we invite you to follow these tips:

  • It is important that the grill has a good base of embers, in addition, that the grill is not too close to the fire.
  • The ribs should be cooked slowly, so it is advisable to respect the cooking times.
  • While the ribs are cooking, you can sprinkle seasoning on top. If the sauce runs out, you can use beer.
  • While the ribs are marinating, turn them over a couple of times so that they soak well in the dressing.
  • If you do not want to use wine, you can substitute it with lemon or lime.
  • The grill should have previously been cleaned with a brush and the coals lit prior to cooking so that it is already hot when you start. 
  • For the grill, it is best to use wood instead of charcoal, as this creates less pollution, and the flavor of the meat will be different. 
  • Some people prefer to finish the ribs in the oven, because here they acquire a much softer texture.

Care of the grill

It is not enough to follow the steps for preparing the ribs and the tips and tricks: the grill is a decisive element when cooking pork ribs. That is why the grill must always be clean and properly maintained. 

Not all grills are the same, so it is important that you know your grill and follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper grill maintenance. Start by cleaning the utensils after each use, as this allows you to remove dirt and debris from the previous use; it also prevents the meat from acquiring a bad odor and bacteria. 

The best time to clean the grill is when it is still hot, that is, after removing the last dish you have made on it. The heat allows for optimal removal of food particles and debris from the food, thus preventing the fat and meat from cooling, drying and sticking to the utensils. Dried fat is much more difficult to remove.
