Meats

Guava BBQ Sauce

Fries

Method

Meats Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Meats

    In a large bowl, combine the beef steak, chicken thighs, and chorizo sausage. Season with salt and black pepper. Set aside to marinate while you prepare the BBQ sauce.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Pork Ribs

    Rub the pork ribs with salt and black pepper. Set aside for grilling.

Guava BBQ Sauce Preparation

  1. 3

    Make the BBQ Sauce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine guava paste, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the guava paste is dissolved and the sauce is heated through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Fries Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare the Fries

    Peel and cut the potatoes into fries. Rinse them under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

  2. 5

    Fry the Potatoes

    In a deep-fryer or large pot, heat vegetable oil to 180°C (350°F). Carefully add the fries in batches and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels, then sprinkle with salt.

Grilling

  1. 6

    Grill the Meats

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the beef steak for about 6-8 minutes per side for medium-rare. Grill the chicken thighs for about 5-7 minutes per side, until cooked through. Grill the chorizo until browned, about 4-5 minutes. Lastly, grill the pork ribs for about 10-15 minutes, brushing with guava BBQ sauce during the last few minutes of cooking.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve the Parrillada

    Arrange the grilled meats on a platter and serve with the guava BBQ sauce on the side. Serve the crispy fries alongside. Enjoy your Parrillada!
