Method

For the Grilled Short Ribs

  1. 1

    Marinate the Ribs

    In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, black pepper, salt, and paprika. Mix well to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ribs

    Add the beef short ribs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

  3. 3

    Grill the Ribs

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the ribs from the marinade and grill for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until cooked to your desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Garnish

    Once grilled, let the ribs rest for a few minutes and then sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

For the Rice

  1. 5

    Rinse the Rice

    Rinse the white rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

  2. 6

    Cook the Rice

    In a saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork before serving.

For the French Fries

  1. 7

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin strips to form fries.

  2. 8

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil to 180°C (350°F).

  3. 9

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the potato strips to the hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 10

    Season

    While still hot, sprinkle the fries with salt to taste.
