Beer Ribs
Ingredients:
– 3 pounds of pork ribs
– 1 bottle of your favorite beer (12 oz)
– 1 cup of barbecue sauce
– 2 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon of paprika
– 1 teaspoon of onion powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions:
1. Preheat your grill to medium heat, setting it up for indirect grilling. If using a charcoal grill, arrange the coals to one side to create a two-zone cooking area.
2. While the grill is heating up, prepare the ribs by removing the membrane from the back of the rack. This will help the flavors penetrate the meat better and result in a more tender rib.
3. In a bowl, mix together the beer, barbecue sauce, minced garlic, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper. This will be your flavorful marinade for the ribs.
4. Place the ribs in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish, then pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and let the ribs marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
5. Once the ribs have marinated, remove them from the bag or dish, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Reserve the marinade for basting later on.
6. Place the ribs on the grill, bone-side down, on the cooler side of the grill. Close the lid and let them cook for about 2 hours, turning and basting them occasionally with the reserved marinade.
7. After 2 hours, check the ribs for doneness. They should be tender and almost falling off the bone. If needed, continue cooking for another 30 minutes, basting and turning as required.
8. Once the ribs are cooked to perfection, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist and flavorful bite.
9. To serve, sprinkle some fresh parsley over the ribs for a pop of color and freshness. Slice between the bones and plate up these succulent Beer Ribs for a meal that’s sure to impress.
