45 pounds baby back ribs, diamond scored on bone side
2 quarts Rib Spice, recipe follows
Salt and pepper
3 quarts porter or other dark beer
3 quarts vegetable stock
5 white onions, julienned
Molasses Barbeque Sauce, recipe follows
2 1/2 cups brown sugar
1 cup chili powder

1/4 teaspoon granulated onion

Steps:

  • Rub the ribs liberally with the Rib Spice and let them sit, covered, in the refrigerator overnight.
  • Prepare a charcoal grill.
  • Season the ribs with salt and pepper. When the coals are very hot, grill the ribs for 5 to 7 minutes per side.
  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Arrange the ribs in roasting pans. Pour the beer and vegetable stock over the ribs and spread the onions over the top.
  • Cover each roasting pan with plastic wrap and heavy-duty aluminum foil. There should be no holes in the plastic wrap or the foil. Braise the ribs until a bone comes out with minimal resistance when pulled, about 2 hours. Do not over-braise.
  • Remove the plastic wrap and foil and let the ribs cool in their braising liquid.
  • To serve, prepare a charcoal grill. Warm the ribs over medium heat and baste with the Molasses Barbeque Sauce. Serve hot.

  • Combine the ketchup, molasses, vinegar and steak sauce in a medium saucepan over low heat. Once the mixture comes to a simmer add the sugar, chili powder, granulated garlic and granulated onion. Stir the sauce often to prevent the sugars from scorching and do not allow the sauce to boil. Simmer for 30 minutes. Yield: enough for 3 racks of ribs.

Time 2h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 pounds bone-in country-style pork ribs
Kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons hot paprika
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 medium onions, peeled and cut into wedges
1 12-ounce bottle amber ale
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 bay leaves
6 sprigs thyme
2/3 cup apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons honey

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Pat the ribs dry, season with salt and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon paprika. Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the ribs in batches and cook until browned, about 8 minutes per side. Remove to a plate. Add the onions and cook until browned, about 10 minutes. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon paprika and season with salt.
  • Add the beer; bring to a boil and cook until the liquid is reduced by half, about 8 minutes, scraping up the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon. Add the chicken broth, bay leaves and thyme; when the liquid begins to simmer, return the ribs to the pot and transfer to the oven. Cook, uncovered, turning the ribs once or twice, until the meat is almost tender, about 1 hour.
  • Mix the vinegar and honey in a measuring cup. Remove the pot from the oven and place on the stovetop; bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add the vinegar mixture and bring to a boil, then return the pot to the oven. Continue to braise, uncovered, until the ribs are tender, 15 to 20 more minutes. Return the pot to the stovetop and transfer the ribs to a plate. Bring the sauce to a boil over medium heat; skim off the fat and cook until thickened, 10 to 15 minutes. Return the ribs to the pot and heat through. Discard the bay leaves and thyme. Photograph by Con Poulos

Provided by PalatablePastime

Categories     Pork

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.

Provided by Baby Kato

Categories     Pork

Time 50m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 teaspoons salt
2 cups beer
2 tablespoons lemon juice
3/4 cup honey, liquid
1 teaspoon dry mustard
2 sparerib racks (pork baby back)

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients and place in large ziploc bag.

  • Drain the ribs, but reserve marinade for use while ribs are cooking.
  • Cook ribs your favourite way, these are good baked in the oven or bbq on the grill.
  • Enjoy.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: Baby back ribs or spare ribs are both good choices for this recipe. Baby back ribs are leaner and have a shorter cooking time, while spare ribs are meatier and have a richer flavor.
  • Brown the ribs well: Browning the ribs before braising them helps to develop flavor and color. Be sure to brown the ribs on all sides over medium-high heat.
  • Use a good quality beer: The beer you use in this recipe will contribute to the flavor of the ribs, so be sure to use a beer that you enjoy drinking. A dark beer, such as a stout or porter, will give the ribs a richer flavor, while a lighter beer, such as a pilsner or blonde ale, will give the ribs a more delicate flavor.
  • Simmer the ribs for at least 2 hours: The ribs need to be simmered for at least 2 hours, or until they are fall-off-the-bone tender. The longer you simmer the ribs, the more tender they will be.
  • Serve the ribs with your favorite sides: Honey beer-braised ribs are delicious served with mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

Honey beer-braised ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a party or a casual meal. The ribs are fall-off-the-bone tender and have a rich, flavorful sauce. Be sure to follow the tips above to make the best honey beer-braised ribs possible.
