Pork Spare Ribs

Pork Spare Ribs

(Serves 6-8)

Ingredients
2 racks pork spare ribs
barbeque sauce, your preference
1 cup beer
Dry Rub:
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons fajita seasoning
2 teaspoons garlic salt
1 teaspoon chili powder
salt and pepper, to taste
 
Directions
Preheat oven to 250º F.

In a small bowl, combine dry rub ingredients
Prepare spare ribs by trimming the membrane (back of ribs) and tough meat (across the top), and discarding those pieces.

Dividing the dry rub in half, equal amounts for both racks, rub the spices on the tops and bottoms of the ribs.

On a baking tray and taking 8 pieces of aluminum foil, you’re going to create pockets for the racks to cook in, meaty side up. 2 pieces of foil on the bottom, 2 pieces on the top, for each rack.

In a medium bowl, whisk together beer and barbeque sauce of your choosing.

Begin carefully sealing your foil packets. Before you seal the final edge, pour 1/2 of beer mixture into each packet.

Bake ribs for 4 hours. Remove from oven and carefully open your packets and drain the sauce/drippings into a saucepan. Simmer on low heat and let thicken.

Brush ribs with sauce and place back in oven, uncovered, under broiler, for 5-7 minutes.
