These cuts are approximate equivalents — similar in character but with meaningful differences in preparation or exact cut.
Same general anatomical region — costillar is the whole bone-in slab cut along the bone for slow asado, asado de tira is the same region cross-cut into ½-inch strips for quick grilling. Different butchering and different cooking traditions, same primal.
