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

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.

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.
