Irish Beer Braised Baby Back Ribs Recipes

Steps:

• 1. On the day you will be cooking the ribs, preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. This is the seasoning spice that I used, or you can make your own or use a brand of your choice.
• 2. Remove the thin silver skin on the back side of the rib, by inserting the tip end of a sharp knife near the bottom end of the bone, and gently pull, till you have enough to remove the entire membrane. Repeat on each of the slabs of ribs.
• 3. This is what the spice looks like, and I used about 1/2 cup or so to season all 4 slabs on both sides. Salt is the first ingredient in this spice and I did not want the ribs to be overly salty.
• 4. Season all of the ribs then place on a large platter, and cover with saran wrap, and refrigerate over night, or at least for a few hours.
• 5. Remove from fridge and allow to come to room temperature, before placing in the oven. Prepare a large pan with cooking spray, then add the ribs.
• 6. Slice the 2 onions into fairly thick slices.
• 7. Add the ribs to a large pan, top with the sliced onions, and slowly add the bottle beer.
• 8. Cover the pan tightly with foil, and place in oven. Bake for 2 1/2 hours. Then remove foil cover.
• 9. Baste Ribs with Barbeque sauce, and return to oven to bake for an additional 30 minutes.
• 10. Cut into serving size portions & serve. Garnish platter if desired before serving.
• 11. Although I had plenty of Baby Back Ribs in the freezer, these were on sale at my favorite grocery store in Dyer Indiana Walt's Grocers, at under $3.00 per pound, A REAL BARGAIN, I couldn't pass them up. You see how lean and meaty they are, the 4 slabs cost me under $25.00. I bought 4 slabs for my helper and her Family too, she was so happy she couldn't believe I did that for her. I TRULY BELEIVE IN SHARING MY BLESSINGS WITH OTHERS.

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.

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.

Steps:

• Wash and pat dry the slap of ribs. Season ribs with salt rub.
• Turn rice cooker to cook and add oil. When hot add ribs and brown on meat side.
• Add beer, stock, and barbecue sauce. Press cook and let cook for 1 hour.
• Serving Ideas : Place steamer basket on top for the last ten minutes with 4 ears of corn.

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.

Steps:

• Combine the brown sugar, pepper and salt; rub over ribs. Place ribs bone side down on a rack in a large shallow roasting pan. Drizzle with honey. Combine beer and vinegar; pour around ribs. Spoon some of the beer mixture over ribs., Cover tightly with foil and bake at 325° for 1 hour. Reduce heat to 250°; bake 2 hours longer or until tender., Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil; using long-handled tongs, lightly coat the grill rack. Drain ribs. Grill, covered, over medium heat for 10-15 minutes or until browned, turning and basting occasionally with barbecue sauce. Serve with remaining barbecue sauce.
