Ingredients

🥩 1 whole rack of beef ribs approx. 10-12 pounds
🧂 Maldon Sea Salt Flakes
🌿 La Chinata Smoked Paprika Pimentón Ahumado
🌶️ Ground black pepper
🍋 2 lemons, halved
🍷 1 cup red wine preferably Malbec for an authentic touch

Instructions

1- Prepare the Ribs:

• Begin by generously seasoning the beef rack with Maldon sea salt flakes, La Chinata smoked paprika, and ground black pepper on both sides.
• Rub the seasonings into the meat to ensure full coverage.

2- Prepare the Fire:

• Using a “parrilla” or grill designed for spit roasting, build a fire using hardwood, such as oak or hickory.
• Allow the wood to burn down until you have a bed of hot coals.
• You’re aiming for a medium-low heat to cook the ribs slowly and evenly.

3- Mount the Ribs:

• Secure the ribs onto a spit or “asador”.
• Place the bones facing the fire and the meat side away to allow for indirect cooking.

4- Cook the Ribs:

• Rotate the spit periodically for even cooking.
• The rib roast will take about 4 to 5 hours to cook through, depending on the temperature and size of the ribs.
• Begin basting with red wine every hour to enhance flavor and tenderness.

5- Finish with Lemon:

• About 20 minutes before completion, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the ribs to add brightness and balance the rich flavors.

6- Serving:

• Once cooked, let the ribs rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
• This resting period helps retain juices and ensures maximum flavor.

Cooking Tips

• Resist the temptation to cook over high heat as this can dry out the meat.
• Adjust seasoning to your preference, adding chili flakes for a spicier kick.
