DARK BEER BRAISED BEEF SHORT RIBS (CROCK POT)



Dark Beer Braised Beef Short Ribs (Crock Pot) image

Adapted from a recipe by Fabio Viviani. Reducing the quart of beef stock to 1 1/2 cups is not included in prep time and a must for a good depth of flavor. A good stout beer is also a must for this recipe, I use Guinness extra stout. Boneless or bone on ribs can be used for this recipe. I have stated 8 hours for cooking time but that will depend on your crock pot, with mine the bone on ribs were almost done at the 6 hour mark so I turned the warm cycle on and let simmer for 2 more hours, they were perfect.

Provided by Dana Ramsey

Time 6h20m

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 lb country style pork ribs
garlic seasoning
everglades seasoning
1 c ketchup
1 Tbsp brown sugar
4 Tbsp pure maple syrup
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
2 tsp low sodium soy sauce
1 1/2 tsp hot pepper sauce, your choice (I used Texas Pete)
1 1/2 strips of cooked bacon, chopped
dash of salt and some freshly ground pepper
mesquite liquid smoke

Steps:

  • 1. Ribs: Sprinkle both sides with the garlic powder and Everglades seasoning. Place a paper towel over top and allow to rest while you make the sauce.
  • 2. Sauce: Place all ingredients, except chopped bacon and the liquid smoke, in a saucepan. Mix well and heat stirring occasionally. Do not allow to burn. Once it begins to come to a soft boil, remove from heat, stir in bacon bits. Place the sauce in a bowl or glass measuring cup and cover with Saran Wrap. Set aside. (Do not refrigerate)
  • 3. Spray your Crock Pot with cooking spray. Place ribs in and sprinkle with the mesquite liquid smoke. I used a cap full. Cook on low for 4 1/2 hours.
  • 4. Check meat after the 4 1/2 hours. Should be a little pink. Drain the liquid and cover the ribs with the BBQ sauce and cook for another 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  • 5. My Crock Pot cooks a little hotter than normal so you may have to adjust your times or cook until a meat thermometer reads 145°. I must add that your house is going to smell so yummy while this is cooking. Enjoy.

CROCK POT BARBECUE PORK RIBS

Make and share this Crock Pot Barbecue Pork Ribs recipe from Food.com.

Provided by EarnhardtFan

Categories     Pork

Time 4h15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 lbs pork ribs (the nice big meaty ones)
1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons season salt
1/2 cup oil
1 cup barbecue sauce (I like KC Masterpiece Original)
1/2 cup Italian salad dressing
1 chopped onion

Steps:

  • Mix half of the spices with the flour rub on pork ribs until coated. Heat oil in frying pan on med-high and brown all sides of ribs.
  • Place the browned ribs in a crock pot.
  • Mix in bowl barbecue sauce, salad dressing, remaining spices & chopped onion.
  • Pour over ribs, cook on high at least 3-4 hours on high turning 2-3 times during cooking. Meat will fall apart.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: Look for ribs that are meaty and have a good amount of marbling. Avoid ribs that are too fatty or have a lot of bone.
  • Prepare the ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs to help the sauce penetrate the meat. You can also trim off any excess fat.
  • Season the ribs: Season the ribs with a rub of your choice. A simple rub made with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder is a good option.
  • Cook the ribs: Place the ribs in a slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the meat is fall-off-the-bone tender.
  • Make the sauce: While the ribs are cooking, make your favorite BBQ sauce or use a store-bought sauce. You can also add other ingredients to the sauce, such as brown sugar, honey, or molasses.
  • Baste the ribs: Baste the ribs with the sauce during the last hour of cooking to help them caramelize and develop a delicious crust.

Conclusion:

Cooking ribs in the crock pot is a great way to enjoy a delicious and easy meal. With just a few simple steps, you can have fall-off-the-bone tender ribs that are sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner, give crock pot ribs a try.
