Tira de Asado (Argentinean-Style Grilled Beef Short Ribs)

League of Kitchens cooking instructor Mirta Rinaldi shared this recipe for Tira de Asado, Argentinean-style grilled beef short ribs. The meaty short ribs are a favorite asado recipe, and to go with them, Rinaldi makes a Balsamic Chimichurri. You can make a meal out of the ribs or cut them into thirds for sharing. While three-bone ribs are traditional, four-bone short ribs work, too. Find three-bone ribs at wildforkfoods.com or four-bone ribs at Asian markets. Note that sal parrillera has larger crystals than kosher salt, so it dissolves more slowly into the meat and imparts a pleasantly salty, mineral taste.

Quick Tomato and Bean Soup Provencal

This quick tomato and bean soup Provencal is my version of a traditional soup from the Provence region of France. It’s a satisfying soup that comes together quickly. Serve with crusty bread, or enjoy with a slice of quiche.
