Instructions

1
|
Preheat the oven to 250°F.
2
|
Position a roasting rack inside a large roasting pan. Pour the full bottle of beer into the pan. Set aside.
3
|
Season the pork ribs liberally with salt and black pepper on both sides.
4
|
In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, paprika, and garlic powder.
5
|
Using a spoon and clean hands, pat the sugar and spice rub evenly onto both sides of the ribs.
6
|
Place the ribs meat side up on the roasting rack. Cover the pan entirely with a large sheet of aluminum foil. Crimp the foil tightly around the edges of the pan so that no steam can escape.
7
|
Roast the ribs on middle rack of the oven until they reach an internal temperature of 180°F and are very tender, 2 1/2-3 hours.
8
|
Remove the roasting pan from the oven.
9
|
Very carefully remove the foil from the pan. Spread the barbecue sauce evenly over the top of the ribs.
10
|
Set the oven to broil. Broil the ribs on the top rack of oven until the barbecue sauce starts to caramelize, 4-5 minutes. Keep a close eye on the ribs to ensure they do not burn.
11
|
Check to see that ribs are done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
12
|
Allow the ribs to cool for 3-4 minutes on the roasting rack. Transfer the ribs to a cutting board. With a sharp knife, cut the ribs into desired portions, and serve immediately. Serve with additional barbecue sauce, if desired.

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Beer Selection Matters 🍺
    Choose a darker beer like a stout or porter to enhance the depth of flavor in the ribs' braising liquid.
  • Membrane Removal Technique 🔪
    Always remove the tough back membrane before seasoning to ensure tender, easy-to-eat ribs that absorb flavor more effectively.
  • Low and Slow Magic 🕰️
    Bake ribs at a consistent 275°F for 2.5-3 hours to achieve that coveted fall-off-the-bone texture without drying out the meat.
  • Sauce Layering Trick 🖌️
    Apply barbecue sauce in thin layers during the last 30 minutes of cooking to prevent burning and create a perfect caramelized glaze.
  • Foil Wrap Moisture Seal 🔒
    Wrap ribs in aluminum foil during initial cooking to trap moisture and create incredibly tender meat before final glazing.
