Instructions
- 01
Prepare the Fire: Start a wood fire in your grill and let it burn down to coals.
- 02
Season the Meat: Generously salt the beef cuts.

Grill the Meat: Place the beef on the grill, starting with the thickest cuts farthest from the coals. Add chorizo and morcilla after the beef has been cooking for a while.

Cook to Perfection: Cook the meat, turning occasionally, until it reaches your desired doneness. Typically, ribs may take up to 2 hours; thinner cuts will cook faster.
