Asado Rib – Cape Grim MB4+
Asado Rib – Cape Grim MB4+
A Cape Grim asado rib with a marble score of 4+, cut for low and slow cooking. Asado is the cross-cut beef short rib at the heart of Argentine barbecue: a thick strip of richly marbled meat across the bone that becomes tender, succulent and deeply flavoured as the fat renders. Cape Grim beef is grass-fed and raised on the pastures of north-west Tasmania.
The marbling in an MB4+ rib bastes the meat through a long cook, building a caramelised, smoky crust over meat that pulls cleanly from the bone. Cook it low and slow over charcoal, in a smoker or in the oven. It makes an impressive centrepiece for a summer Christmas or a long lunch with friends.
