asado with tira de asado

Tira de asado is a beef rib cut served as part of a Uruguayan asado. Uruguay’s Instituto Nacional de Carnes lists asado de tira among its bone-in cuts and gives the English equivalent as short ribs. The ribs are cooked on a parrilla, with the bone retained in the portions.^[1][2]

At Parrilla Pellicer in Montevideo’s Mercado Agrícola, asado de tira is offered with fries or a mixed salad. This is one restaurant’s serving arrangement. Grilled meats are a prominent part of the city’s food markets: Montevideo’s tourism department identifies parrillada as the main food offering at the Mercado del Puerto, a meeting place in the Ciudad Vieja for residents and visitors.^[2][3]
