INTRODUCTION

I eat every day. I eat at restaurants, other people's houses, and at home, to name a few. There are so many good dishes out there and every once in a while I attempt them at home. Sometimes they are successful, sometimes not so much. But when I do make something I like, I want to keep the recipe in a place where I have quick access to it. So, here comes my new Food Blog. It is a place I can add recipes I like on a continuous basis and I can share these recipes with you. So, if you have a recipe that you want to share, please send it to me at 1Lauren23@gmail.com. I will cook/bake it, and if it works for me too, I will add it to my Blog. !!Welcome!! And Let's Eat.

PLEASE USE THE S E A R C H tool on the right hand side. You can search by ingredient i.e. "banana" or by course, i.e. "Breakfast".

BBQ Beer Ribs

BBQ Beer Ribs


I'm getting better.  There were two pieces left by the time I remember to take a photo!

I made these ribs a few times and each time they turned out perfect.  For 3 adults and 2 children (under 2 years old) I made 2 kilos of ribs and had only 2 pieces left over.  I also halved the recipe below.  I think the next time I make it I will use a bottled sauce and see how that goes as I am not overly fond of the beer sauce although I did enjoy my meal immensely.

Ingredients

3.6 Kg (8 lbs) Pork Baby Back Ribs

(I was told by the butcher in the grocers that Pork Back Ribs are the same as Baby Back Ribs)

Sauce

1 Cup Chili Sauce
3/4 Cup Brown Sugar
1 Cup Tomato Paste
2 Cups White or Pale Ale
6 Cloves Garlic, chopped
4 Tsp Dijon Mustard
4 Tsp Worcestershire sauce
2 Tsp Ground Ginger
1 Tsp Cayenne Pepper (optional) (I left out due to feeding babies)
1 Tsp Salt

You'll probably find that your ribs have a silver skin on the underside.  It is suggested that this be removed as it prevents the sauce from penetrating the meat and when cooked it can become rubbery and a bit unpleasant to eat.  I have both left the skin on and have removed it.  I must admit the meat was very tender and easy to eat without the skin and the process is quite simple.  Here is a Youtube lesson on silver skin removal:

Directions:

1. Cut the meat between the ribs to get 3 bone pieces.
2.  In a large pot, cover the ribs with lightly salted water.  Bring to a boil and skim.  Cover and simmer gently for 45 minutes.  Drain.  Set aside.

SAUCE:




3.  In a saucepan bring all the ingredients to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.  Simmer for 7 to 8 minutes.
4.  In a large bowl combine the ribs with the sauce.  If you have time, let rest in the refrigerator for several hours.

(Steps 1 to 4 can be made ahead, then put in the fridge to marinate and is ready to cook just before or when, the company arrives.)

5.  With the rack in the middle position, preheat the over to 375°F.  Line two baking sheets with aluminum foil.
6.  Lay the ribs on the baking sheets.  Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 40 minutes.  Remove the foil and bake for 30 minutes or until the meat falls easily from the bone.
