Fall-off-the-bone baby back ribs are tenderized with beer and drenched in a spicy sweet beer and barbecue sauce reduction.
Ingredients
- 2-3lb babyback ribs
- 12oz beer (I recommend something roasty like a nut brown)
- 1 cup KC Masterpiece Southern Style barbecue sauce
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 4 tablespoons brown sugar (tightly packed)
- 1 lime (zested and juiced)
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- pinch salt
- pinch ground black pepper
- pinch red pepper flakes
Directions
| Step 1 | |
|
In a large mixing bowl, combine the beer, barbecue sauce, garlic, brown sugar, lime juice and zest, onion powder, ground ginger, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. Whisk until combined. |  |
| Step 2 | |
|
Place the rack of ribs in a baking pan. Sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper, then pour the marinade on top. |  |
| Step 3 | |
| Flip so the meaty side is drenched in the marinade, cover with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the fridge for 4-8 hours. | |
| Step 4 | |
| When you’re ready to cook, preheat the oven to 275 degrees Fahrenheit. | |
| Step 5 | |
|
Take the ribs out of the marinade (setting the marinade aside) and encase them in foil, tightly sealed but with enough space to allow the air to circulate through. |  |
| Step 6 | |
| Bake at 275 for 2-2 + 1/2 hours, or until the meat falls off the bone. | |
| Step 7 | |
|
An hour before the ribs are done, pour the marinade into a saucepan, bring to a boil, then let simmer until reduced by half. |  |
| Step 8 | |
| Pull the ribs out of the oven, let rest for five minutes, then serve, drenching them with this sauce. | |
