Pork Spare Ribs In The Oven With Beer Recipes

BEER-BRAISED COUNTRY-STYLE PORK RIBS

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

SPARE RIBS IN OVEN

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 275-300 F (depending on how strong your oven is) and line an appropriately sized baking sheet with aluminum foil (for easy clean up), then place a sheet of parchment paper on top***
• Trim the rack of spare ribs from any excess fat, pat them dry with a paper towel. Turn the rack with the meaty side down and identify the membrane that runs across the length of the rib bones. Peel it off using a paper towel to eliminate slipperiness.
• Liberally season the rack of ribs on both sides and place onto the baking sheet. If you need to cut the rack in two to achieve a better fit, do so.
• Cover the ribs with a sheet of parchment paper, then aluminum foil - tuck it around the edges of the baking sheet to create air tight seal.
• Place in the oven for 2 hours.
• After 2 hours unwrap the cover and check the meat for tenderness. If satisfied, remove the covering, season with more dry rub or brush with BBQ sauce on both sides. (If you feel that the meat can use a little longer in the oven, go for another 20 mins and check again).
• Place the uncovered ribs back in the oven for 20-30 mins more, as needed (you want a nice crust to form and the meat to be super tender).
• Transfer to a cutting board, use tongs and a sharp chef's knife to slice the ribs, brush with BBQ sauce again (if using) and serve.

BARBECUED RIBS WITH BEER

Steps:

• Rub the salt, Italian seasoning and pepper over ribs and place in a shallow roasting pan; add beer. Cover and bake at 325° for 2 hours or until tender., Drain ribs. Spoon some of the sauce over ribs. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack.

TENDER PORK SPARE RIBS

Steps:

• Mix the brown sugar, fajita seasoning, and paprika in a bowl. Rub both sides of the pork spareribs with the brown sugar mixture. Place the spareribs in a 9x13-inch baking pan; cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Preheat an oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Whisk together the beer, garlic, honey, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard in a bowl. Set aside.
• Tear off 2 large sheets of heavy duty aluminum foil and lay them shiny-side down. Place a rack of spareribs on each sheet, meaty-side up. Tear off 2 more sheets of foil and place them on top of the ribs, shiny-side up. Begin tightly folding the edges of the foil together to create a sealed packet. Just before sealing completely, divide the beer mixture evenly into each packet. Complete the seal. Place the packets side-by-side on an 11x14-inch baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the ribs are very tender, 3 hours and 30 minutes to 4 hours. Carefully open each packet, and drain the drippings into a saucepan. You may only need the drippings from one packet. Set ribs aside. Simmer the drippings over medium-high heat until the sauce begins to thicken, about 5 minutes. Brush the thickened sauce over the ribs.
• Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
• Place the ribs back into the oven and broil until the sauce is lightly caramelized, 5 to 7 minutes.

BEER RIBS

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.
