Recipe type: Main Dish
Serves: 4-6
Ingredients
  • 2 full racks of baby back ribs
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 small bottle of beer of your choice (we used 11.2-oz. Stella Artois)
  • 6 Tbsp vinegar
  • 2-3 lemons, sliced
  • Fresh herbs of your choice (we used a healthy sprig of rosemary, cut into about eight pieces)
  • Optional: 4-5 garlic cloves, halved
  • BBQ sauce (for basting)
Instructions
  1. Set oven to 325 degrees.
  2. Place a grid rack in a roasting pan. Add bottle of beer and then enough water so that liquid barely hits the rack. Then, add vinegar, lemon slices, fresh herbs, and garlic if desired.
  3. Cut the ribs into about three boned sections and season them on all sides with salt and pepper.
  4. Layer them sideways on the rack and cover them tightly with tinfoil. Steam in the oven for up to 3 hours. Start checking them at 2 and 2½ hours. They are done when the meat begins to separate slightly from the bone. (Do not cook them too long; otherwise, the bone can become too soft to even handle by hand)
  5. Set grill to medium-high heat. Place ribs, upright, onto grill and baste tops liberally with BBQ sauce. Cook for 5 minutes. Flip ribs and baste bottoms with BBQ sauce and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
