Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 3 hours 30 minutes
Serving Size: Serves 4-6
Ingredients:
- 3 lbs (1.4 kg) pork baby back ribs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
For the Guinness BBQ Sauce:
- 1 cup Guinness stout beer
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Prepare the Ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs for better flavor absorption. Mix the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika in a small bowl. Rub this spice mixture all over the ribs.
- Bake the Ribs: Place the ribs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Cover tightly with more foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the ribs are tender.
- Make the Guinness BBQ Sauce: While the ribs are baking, prepare the sauce. In a medium saucepan, combine the Guinness stout beer, ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
- Grill the Ribs: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the ribs from the oven and discard the top foil. Brush the ribs generously with the Guinness BBQ sauce.
- Grill for Flavor: Place the ribs on the preheated grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, basting with more sauce and turning occasionally, until they are nicely charred and caramelized.
- Serve: Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before cutting. Serve with additional Guinness BBQ sauce on the side.
These Guinness BBQ Ribs are perfect for a summer cookout or a hearty dinner, offering a unique and flavorful twist on traditional barbecue ribs.
