Beer Braised Baby Back Ribs Rice Cooker Recipes

BEER-BRAISED BABY BACK RIBS

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 brown sugar, chili powder, granulated onion, salt and pepper, granulated garlic and dried oregano in a large bowl and whisk until well combined.
• 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.

BRAISED BABY BACK RIBS

Steps:

• Combine rub* ingredients in a plastic bag, shake to mix.
• Rub olive oil on ribs then generously cover both sides of ribs with rub, there's enough to do 2 racks.
• Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hrs or as long as 24 hours.
• For covered charcoal grill: Start coals 30-45 minutes prior to cooking, soak a couple hand fulls of hickory chips in water.
• Meanwhile, place each rack of ribs, curved side down on two layers of heavy duty aluminum foil, which have been wiped with a thin coat of vegetable oil use a piece of foil large enough to seal over the top.
• Form a pan with the foil.
• After coals turn white push them all to one side, drain wood chips, place soaked wood chips on hot coals, replace grill top.
• Soak some more chips.
• Place ribs and foil on cool side of grill, carefully pour water to the foil 'pans' to no more than 1/2" up the sides of the ribs.
• Replace lid on grill.
• Every 30 minutes add a few coals and some of the soaked chips and reverse the position of the ribs (rotate and reverse).
• Turn over about 1/2 way through the cooking process so they finish curved side up.
• Depending on your grill it could take as long as 4 hrs or as little as 1 hr to cook.
• To finish ribs, remove from heat, drain liquid from foil pan (reserve for sauce if desired) carefully cut racks into serving sized chunks (3-4 ribs), brush with sauce and return to hot side of grill for a few minutes to brown a bit.
• You can brown them under the broiler right in the foil pans if coals are not hot enough.
• This procedure can be replicated on a two (or more) zoned gas grill.
• Put the chips in another foil 'pan' and place them over the heat, when they start to smoke put the ribs over the cool side and cover.
• Replenish chips as necessary, rotate and reverse rib pans about every 30 minutes.
• *This is a sweet rub and may be a bit too sweet for some tastes, if so decrease sugar.

IRISH BEER BRAISED BABY BACK RIBS

Steps:

• 1. Remove the silver skin from the back side of the ribs. By using a sharp knife, place the tip of the knife near the outer edge of the bone, and lift the membrane carefully and pull to remove. This allows the spices to penetrate the ribs, and the ribs to get very tender during the cooking process.
• 2. Combine all the spices in a small bowl, then pour into a food processor and blend together, then season the ribs liberally on both sides. Allow to marinate at least an hour or two, but preferably over night., so that the spices can penetrate the ribs. If refrigerated over night, allow ribs to come to room temperature for at least an hour or so before placing in the roaster.
• 3. Brush both sides of ribs liberally with the liquid smoke. Using about 1/4 cup per each slab of rib
• 4. Follow manufacture's direction to preheat roaster. I preheated @ 325 degrees F.While roaster is preheating. Add in the rack Spray rack with non stick cooking spray. Then pour in the 2 cans of beer. This will create moisture while the ribs are cooking and prevent them from becoming dry during the cooking process. The beer should always be BELOW the bottom of the rack.
• 5. Place each slab of ribs on the rack with the top side facing up. Add the lid and allow to cook for about 4 hours or until ribs are tender. Check periodically to make sure there is still liquid in the bottom of the roaster. May add additional Beer or water or other liquid of choice if needed.
• 6. Once fully cooked brush ribs on both sides with your favorite Barbeque Sauce. I used Sweet Baby Rays. Allow to continue cooking for 10 to 15 additional minutes if desired, before serving.

• 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.

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.
