Beer Braised Baby Back Ribs Recipes

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.

Bake until the ribs are tender and falling off the bone, about 2 hours.

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.
