Argentinian-Style Beef Short Ribs (Asado de Tira al Horno)
If each cut of meat has a name that varies depending on the country, in the case of Argentina, the asado de tira requires a special cut of meat taken from the area of the rib of beef that includes the delicious thick piece of ribsteak that covers the outside of the ribs; so essentially outside Argentina and Chile to get this special cut you will have to describe it to your butcher; or ask for closest thing: in the US and Canada it is the "Short Rib"; in the UK its "Thin Ribs".
The short ribs are cut transversely to the direction of the ribs, in strips about 4-5 inches wide, in such a way that the bone may be placed downwards, facing the heat source, and in this process the bone will play a physical role in roasting the meat around it.
