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.

BEER RIBS



Beer Ribs image

Beer isn't just for drinking. Here, it's drizzled on top of the ribs to help the meat break down as it cooks low and slow in an oven. It's also the star ingredient in the barbecue sauce that glazes these super tender ribs that are finished off on a grill for a slightly smoky flavor.

Categories     main-dish

Time 9h10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 tablespoons smoked paprika
1 tablespoon celery salt
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Two 1 1/2-pound racks baby back ribs
One 12-ounce bottle bock-style or dark beer
1 small shallot, minced
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup molasses
2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
1 tablespoon chipotle in adobo sauce plus 1 tablespoon chopped chipotle
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
Vegetable oil, for the grill grates

Steps:

  • Combine the light brown sugar, smoked paprika, celery salt, garlic powder, onion powder, allspice, 2 tablespoons salt and a generous amount of pepper in a small bowl. Rub the mixture on both sides of the rib racks.
  • Wrap each rib rack in 3 pieces of aluminum foil and refrigerate for 6 hours and up to overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Place the ribs side-by-side on a baking sheet. Unwrap the foil slightly, pour 2 tablespoons beer over each rib rack and then seal the foil tightly. Bake until the ribs are tender, and the meat can easily be pierced and pulled away with a fork, about 2 hours 30 minutes. Let cool, uncovered, until warm, about 20 minutes. Alternatively, cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day.
  • Put the shallots and remaining beer in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil until the beer reduces to 1/4 cup, about 10 minutes. Whisk in the ketchup, molasses, whole-grain mustard, chipotle in adobo sauce, chopped chipotle and sherry vinegar. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and reduces to about 1 1/4 cups, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Prepare a grill or large grill pan for medium-high heat. Clean and oil the grill grates.
  • Brush the top of each rack of ribs with 1/4 cup of the barbecue sauce. Working in batches as needed, grill, sauce-side down, until browned and slightly charred, about 4 minutes. Cut the ribs between the bones, slather with the remaining 1 cup of sauce and serve.

Tips for Making Irish Beer-Braised Baby Back Ribs:

  • Choose high-quality baby back ribs: Look for ribs that are meaty and have a good amount of marbling.
  • Prepare the ribs properly: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and trim any excess fat.
  • Use a flavorful beer: Choose a beer that you enjoy drinking, as its flavor will be imparted to the ribs.
  • Season the ribs generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika to create a flavorful rub.
  • Brown the ribs before braising: This will help to develop a rich flavor and color.
  • Braise the ribs for at least 2 hours: This will ensure that the ribs are fall-off-the-bone tender.
  • Serve the ribs with your favorite sides: Mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, and coleslaw are all great options.
