Time 8h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 lbs pork baby back ribs
36 ounces beer
3 tablespoons kosher salt
3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon celery seed
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
1 teaspoon liquid smoke (optional)
2/3 cup finely chopped onion
2 -3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons oil
1 1/2 cups Heinz Chili Sauce
1 cup beer
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard

Steps:

  • Prepare your ribs by rinsing them off and removing the membrane on the back (slide a sharp knife under there to loosen it, then grab it with something dry like a paper towel and pull it off).
  • You may cut your ribs into sections before brining, if desired.
  • Mix together beer, salt, brown sugar, celery seed, cayenne pepper, black pepper and liquid smoke in a saucepan.
  • Heat over low heat, stirring gently until all the salt dissolves; allow to cool.
  • Place rib sections in a large ziplock or resealable bag and pour the cooled brine over; squeeze out as much air as possible and seal the bag.
  • Allow the ribs to brine in this mixture, for 6 hours or overnight, rotating bag occasionally.
  • Prior to cooking, remove ribs from brine and pat dry; discard used brine.
  • Using a drip pan, prepare a grill for indirect cooking.
  • Place the ribs over the drip pan and grill using indirect medium heat (test by placing your hand over the heat- you should be able to keep it there for about 3 seconds).
  • Cover grill and cook for 1 1/2- 1 3/4 hours or until the ribs are tender, and the meat has pulled back from the edges of the bone slightly.
  • Add additional coals during cooking if needed.
  • Baste with honey bbq sauce during the last minutes of cooking, allowing the sauce to set.
  • To make the sauce, cook onion and garlic in oil in a small saucepan until the onions become tender.
  • Add the chili sauce, beer, honey, Worcestershire sauce and mustard to the pan, stirring to mix well.
  • Bring sauce to a boil, then lower heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until it is as thick as you like it.
  • Use sauce on ribs as a baste; sauce can be prepared ahead.

Categories     main-dish

Time 4h12m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup apple cider vinegar
4 cups water
2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons freshly cracked black pepper
10 garlic cloves, smashed
3 pounds baby back ribs, silver skin removed, racks cut in 1/2
1/2 bottle beer
1 yellow onion, peeled and quartered
BBQ sauce, recipe follows
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup yellow onion
1 tablespoon minced serrano pepper
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced ginger
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 cups raspberries, frozen
1/3 cup seedless raspberry jam
3 tablespoons molasses

Steps:

  • Preheat an indoor or outdoor grill to high.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a large resealable bag or nonreactive container; combine the vinegar, water, 1 tablespoon of the salt and 1 tablespoon of the pepper, 4 of the garlic cloves and the ribs. Let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes only.
  • Remove the ribs from the brine and season both sides with the remaining salt and pepper. Sear the ribs on an indoor grill or outdoor if available, until lightly browned.
  • In a large roasting pan, fitted with a rack, arrange the ribs on the rack and pour in half of the beer. Drink or discard the remaining beer. Add the onion and remaining garlic cloves. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and put into the hot oven. Reduce the heat to 300 and roast for 1 1/2 hours. Remove the foil and baste the ribs with the BBQ Sauce. Roast for 7 minutes, then turn the ribs over, baste again and roast for another 7 minutes.
  • Remove the ribs from the oven to a cutting board and slice between the ribs. Arrange on a serving platter and serve.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the onion and serrano and cook until the onion is translucent. Stir in the garlic and the ginger and cook for 1 to 2 minutes longer, being cautious not to burn the mixture. Deglaze the pan with the vinegar and then add the raspberries, jam and molasses. Stir to combine, then lower heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Puree with an immersion blender, then strain through a sieve into a bowl or jar, to remove the seeds, pushing the sauce through as much as possible. Can be stored, covered, in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Tips for Making Beer-Brined Baby Back Ribs with Honey BBQ Sauce:

  • Choose the right ribs: Baby back ribs are the best choice for this recipe, as they are tender and flavorful. Look for ribs that are meaty and have a good amount of marbling.
  • Make the brine ahead of time: The brine helps to tenderize the ribs and infuse them with flavor. Plan to brine the ribs for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight.
  • Use a good quality beer: The beer used in the brine and the sauce adds a lot of flavor to the ribs. Choose a beer that you enjoy drinking, such as a pale ale or an amber ale.
  • Slow-cook the ribs: Low and slow cooking is the best way to cook ribs. This allows the collagen in the ribs to break down and makes them fall-off-the-bone tender.
  • Baste the ribs with sauce: Basting the ribs with sauce helps to keep them moist and flavorful. Brush the ribs with sauce every 30 minutes or so during the cooking process.

Conclusion:

Beer-brined baby back ribs with honey BBQ sauce are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The ribs are tender, flavorful, and fall-off-the-bone. The honey BBQ sauce is the perfect finishing touch, adding a sweet and tangy flavor to the ribs. Whether you are cooking for a backyard barbecue or a special occasion dinner, these ribs are sure to be a hit.
