Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lb. Baby Back Pork Ribs
  • 1 can beer
  • 1 small Onion, finely chopped
  • 1 stalk of Celery, finely chopped
  • 1 large Clove Garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 Tbsp. Olive Oil
  • 1 cup Ketchup
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 Tbsp. Dijon Mustard
  • 2 Tbsp. Worcestershire Sauce

Instructions

  1. Place the ribs in a pot with water and pour in one beer.
  2. Bring to a boil and then simmer for one hour to make the meat tender.

Tips & Substitutions

For extra flavor, marinate the ribs overnight in the sauce before cooking. If you prefer a sweeter sauce, consider adding more brown sugar or a splash of honey. You can also substitute the beer with apple cider for a unique twist. If you don't have Dijon mustard, yellow mustard works in a pinch. Always adjust the seasoning to your taste.

Serving Suggestions

Serve the barbeque ribs with classic sides like coleslaw or baked beans for a complete meal. They pair wonderfully with a Quick Fruit Dish for a refreshing contrast. For a hearty touch, consider serving with cornbread or potato salad. Drizzle some extra barbeque sauce over the top for added flavor.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftover ribs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, wrap the ribs in aluminum foil and place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 20 minutes, or until heated through. You can also reheat them on a grill for added char.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use other types of ribs for this recipe?

Yes, you can use spare ribs or St. Louis-style ribs instead of baby back ribs. Just keep in mind that cooking times may vary, as larger ribs may require a longer simmering time to become tender.

What can I serve with these ribs?

These barbeque ribs pair excellently with sides like coleslaw, cornbread, or grilled vegetables. For a lighter option, consider a salad or a Quick Fruit Dish. Don't forget to serve extra barbeque sauce on the side for dipping!

Can I make the sauce ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can prepare the barbeque sauce a few days in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just heat it up before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully, enhancing the taste when you use it on the ribs.
