PORK SIDE RIBS

This recipe for pork side ribs is very similar to my Pork Baby Back Ribs Recipe, where the ribs are braised in BBQ sauce. I found this marinade recipe that was great for tenderizing the side ribs, which needed just a bit of help in that department. I added a few more ingredients and after marinating for 24 hours, they turned out nice and tender.

The Hubby really enjoyed this version of pork side ribs (I had done a previous batch with my Greek Style Dry Ribs recipe and the ribs just didn’t get as fall-off-the-bone tender). Not to mention that the Bulls-Eye Guinness BBQ sauce was fantastic! I would also use my Homemade BBQ Sauce if I had any.

Pork Side Ribs

Ingredients

Marinade

• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/3 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup beef broth
• 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 teaspoons Clubhouse Garlic & Onion Seasoning
• 2 teaspoons Clubhouse Herb Pepper Mix
• Approx 3 lbs of pork back ribs or country style ribs

Other

• BBQ Sauce
• Dark Beer
• Dry rub of choice

Instructions

• Cut the ribs into large pieces so they fit into a casserole dish. Place them in a large Ziploc bag.
• Mix all the marinade ingredients and pour over the ribs. (Massage the marinade into the ribs so they're thoroughly coated.)
• Place the bag into a dish (to catch any leaks!) and place in fridge overnight.
• Take the ribs out of the bag and put them into a deep casserole dish (deep enough to be covered in sauce).
• Cover with 2-3 c BBQ sauce and add half a bottle of beer (or whatever it takes to just cover the meat.)
• Mix a bit, turning and mixing with meat.
• Cover with tinfoil.
• Place on the BBQ on low-medium heat or in the oven at about 300°F and cook for about 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
• Remove, gently, from sauce and place on a hot BBQ, searing for a minute or two a side.
• Place on a plate, pour braising sauce over top (can thicken by bringing to a boil and letting reduce.)
