CREAMY GRAVY-COVERED, BEER-BRAISED COUNTRY-STYLE PORK RIBS



Creamy Gravy-Covered, Beer-Braised Country-Style Pork Ribs image

Country-style pork ribs are about the cheapest meat available on a regular basis in the store. Due to this, my family eats them fairly regularly. Although we like barbecued country-style pork ribs, we needed a change. This recipe is a compilation of what I liked best from different recipes and put them together to make my own. My 10-year old son deemed "the best ever!" Hope you like this change from the ordinary.

Categories     Pork

Time 3h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
2 tablespoons oil
3 lbs country-style boneless pork ribs
3 medium onions, sliced (my family likes even more)
2 (12 ounce) cans beer
2 cups water (to make pork gravy)
2 (1 -2 ounce) envelopes knorr roasted pork gravy mix
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
1 (1 ounce) envelope Lipton Onion Soup Mix
8 ounces sliced fresh mushrooms

Steps:

  • Mix salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder in small bowl or Ziploc bag and then sprinkle liberally over ribs. Allow the seasoned ribs to sit for about 20 minutes at room temperature.
  • Heat oil in large heavy-bottomed, oven-proof Dutch oven (love my enameled cast iron Dutch oven for this). Brown the ribs on all sides. Do NOT crowd them while browning, if it takes two batches, let it take two batches (otherwise they just steam and won't develop a nice sear).
  • Once ribs have browned well, remove them to a plate.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • There should be ample rendered fat, but if there is more than about 4 tablespoons, remove the excess. Place all sliced onions in the bottom of the pan and allow them to start to take on just a bit of color.
  • Pour in about 1/4 can of beer to deglaze the bottom of the pan while the onions continue to cook.
  • Once the bottom of the pan is deglazed, return ribs to the pan (with any of juices on the plate). Pour in the rest of the beer. This should just barely cover all of the ribs and onions.
  • Cover and bake at 375°F for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  • When you remove the Dutch oven from the oven, be prepared for the onions to have cooked down into gooey lusciousness, and the sides of the pan to look like a disaster. Don't worry - it will taste great.
  • Remove the ribs (which will be falling apart tender) and the onions from the pan.
  • Turn oven down to 325°F.
  • Use the water that you will be using to make the pork gravy mix with to "deglaze" the bottom on the pan, then add the mix according to the instructions on the packet. (I originally did try using canned gravy but it tasted "canned.") Once the gravy has thickened, mix in cream of mushroom soup, the dry onion soup mix and the mushrooms.
  • Place ribs and onions back in the Dutch oven and stir so that the gravy is covering the ribs.
  • Cover the Dutch oven again, and return to the oven heated to 325°F.
  • Cook for about 1 hour.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes, noodles or rice.

BRAISED COUNTRY-STYLE PORK RIBS WITH MUSTARD-BEER SAUCE RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Braised Country-Style Pork Ribs with Mustard-Beer Sauce Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by DeliciouslyDished

Number Of Ingredients 15

For the ribs:
6-1/2 lb. bone-in country-style pork ribs, cut into individual ribs (12 to 16 large, meaty ribs)
2 12-oz. bottles lager, such as Budweiser
2 Tbs. canola oil
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 medium carrot, chopped
1 medium celery rib, chopped
4 medium cloves garlic, crushed
1-1/2 cups lower-salt chicken broth
2 Tbs. soy sauce
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
For the sauce:
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
3 Tbs. whole-grain mustard
3 Tbs. balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Braise the ribs: Position an oven rack about 6 inches from the broiler element and heat the broiler on high. Arrange half of the ribs in a single layer in a broiler pan (without the top rack). Broil, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a platter and discard the fat in the pan. Put the pan over high heat. Add 1 bottle of the beer and bring to a boil, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spatula. Transfer the mixture to a large roasting pan. Repeat with the remaining ribs and beer. Clean the broiler pan. Reposition the rack to the center of the oven and lower the oven temperature to 350°F. Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, celery, and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens, about 5 minutes. Transfer to the roasting pan holding the beer mixture; stir in the broth, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes. Spread the vegetables in an even layer and arrange the ribs on top (it's OK if they're crowded). Cover the roasting pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil, crimping the edges to create a tight seal. Braise in the oven for 30 minutes. Turn the ribs, re-cover the pan, and braise until the ribs are tender when pierced with a small knife, 60 to 80 minutes more. Line the clean broiler pan with aluminum foil and transfer the ribs to the broiler pan. Tent loosely with more foil while you make the sauce. Make the sauce: Strain the braising liquid through a fine sieve into a medium saucepan; discard the solids. Let stand for 5 minutes; skim off and discard the fat on the surface. Bring to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat to maintain a steady simmer and cook, stirring often, until the liquid has reduced to 1-1/2 cups, about 20 minutes. Whisk in the brown sugar, mustard, and vinegar and raise the heat to return to a boil. Then lower the heat to maintain a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced to 1-1/2 cups, 10 to 15 minutes. Finish the ribs: Leaving the rack in the center of the oven, heat the broiler on high. Brush the tops of the ribs with about 1/2 cup of the sauce; broil until glazed and sizzling, 5 to 7 minutes. Flip the ribs, brush with another 1/2 cup of sauce, and broil until the other side is glazed and sizzling, 5 to 7 minutes more. Transfer to a serving platter, drizzle with the remaining sauce, and serve. Make Ahead Tips: You can braise the ribs and make the sauce up to 1-1/2 hours ahead and keep them at cool room temperature. Brush the ribs with sauce and finish them under the broiler just before serving.
