Both whole-along-bone slow-cooked beef ribs from the plate region. Costillar is grilled flat on parrilla or vertically on asador a la cruz over coals; plate ribs is smoked low-and-slow over post-oak in Texas BBQ tradition. Different cooking, same cut.

Asado de tiraapproximate

Same general anatomical region (short plate / chuck rib), but cut differently: asado de tira is a thin (~½-inch) cross-cut Argentine strip, plate ribs is the whole long bone-in slab smoked low-and-slow.

Brazil

Costela ponta de agulhaclose substitute

Both are whole-along-bone slow-cooked beef ribs from the chest/plate region. Plate ribs is the Texas-BBQ-tradition smoke-for-12-hours version; costela ponta de agulha is the Brazilian-churrasco vertical-fire-grill version with more cartilage. Different cooking traditions, very similar cut.
