Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 lbs Pork ribs
- 12 oz Dark beer
- 3 tbsp Brown sugar
- 2 tsp Paprika
- 2 tsp Chili powder
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 0.5 tsp Cayenne pepper
- 1.5 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).
Remove the silver membrane from the back of the pork ribs to help tenderize them. Cut the ribs into smaller racks if necessary for easier handling.
In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, paprika, chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to create a dry rub.
Rub both sides of the ribs generously with olive oil, then coat them evenly with the dry rub. Massage the spices into the ribs for better flavor absorption.
Place the seasoned ribs in a large resealable plastic bag or a container. Pour the dark beer over the ribs, ensuring they're fully submerged. Seal the bag/container and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (or overnight for best results).
Remove the ribs from the marinade and reserve 1/2 cup of the liquid for later use. Pat the ribs dry with paper towels.
Wrap each rack of ribs tightly in aluminum foil, creating a sealed packet. Place the foil packets on a baking sheet.
Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for 2 1/2 hours until tender.
Carefully remove the ribs from the oven and open the foil packets. Brush the ribs generously with barbecue sauce, and transfer them to a grill or broiler.
Grill or broil the ribs on medium-high heat for about 5-10 minutes, brushing more barbecue sauce on the ribs as they cook, until caramelized and slightly charred.
Optional: Combine the reserved beer marinade and any remaining barbecue sauce in a small saucepan. Simmer for 5-10 minutes to create a dipping sauce.
Serve the Spicy Beer Pork Ribs hot, with dipping sauce on the side if desired. Enjoy!
