Preparation

For the Grilled Short Ribs

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. 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. 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. Garnish

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

For the Rice

1. Rinse the Rice

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

2. 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. Prepare the Potatoes

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

2. Heat the Oil

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

3. 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. Season

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