Instructions
Whether using a charcoal or gas grill, preheat it to medium-high heat.Make sure the grill grate is clean and well-oiled to prevent sticking.
Season both sides of the beef short ribs and thin-cut beef chuck steaks with salt and pepper.You can also add a bit of lime zest for added flavor.
Before grilling, brush the grill grate with olive oil.This will help prevent the meat from sticking and will provide a nice, golden brown crust on the ribs.
Place the seasoned beef ribs and chuck steaks on the preheated grill directly over the heat source.Cook for about 4 minutes per side or until they reach a nice sear with a crosshatch of grill marks.You can adjust the cooking time based on your desired level of doneness.
Once cooked, remove the meat from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.This will ensure that the juices are well-distributed throughout the meat, resulting in juicier, more tender tablitas.
After the meat has rested, slice it into bite-sized pieces and serve.Enjoy your delicious and tender Tablitas with your favorite side dishes and sauces.
