How do you make juicy, fall off the bone ribs when your BBQ Grill is covered in snow?
Try my recipe and use your favorite type of beer, rub, and BBQ sauce as ingredients. You’ll be slapping your belly in about two hours….
I decided to use Stella Artois, Willie’s Hog Dust®, and Sweet Baby Ray’s®….
To prepare Ribs So Good, Make You Wanna Slap Your Belly, you will need:
- 2 whole racks of baby back ribs
- 1 bottle of beer
- 10 Tbsp BBQ seasoning rub
- 1 bottle BBQ sauce
Preheat the oven to 375°. Cut each rack of ribs into two equal size pieces.
Sprinkle the “meaty” side of each half rack with 2 Tbsp of BBQ rub. Massage the rub into the meat, flip, and repeat with remaining BBQ rub on the “bony” side of the ribs.
Cut four large pieces of aluminum foil and place a half rib rack onto each piece of foil, “bony” side up. Drizzle 3 Tbsp beer on each.
Fold the foil in half lengthwise over the ribs. Fold over the other half and the sides, pressing firmly, making a foil pouch that is tight against the pork and without leaks. Repeat for each half rib rack.
Place each foil pouch on a broiler pan with the “bony” side remaining up. Bake for 90 minutes. The beer will steam and tenderize the ribs as they cook to perfection.
Check the ribs and remove if the meat is at your desired tenderness. Cook the ribs another 15-30 minutes to tenderize further.
Preheat the broiler on high. Carefully remove each rib rack from the foil pouch and place them on the broiler pan “meaty” side up. Baste the ribs with BBQ sauce. Broil at least 6 inches from the heating element for 5 minutes to caramelize the BBQ Sauce.
Let the ribs rest for 15 minutes, carve, and serve with Shrimp Relish (recipe coming soon). It’s that easy.
Now, what to do with the left over beer? Oh, I know, make some Beer Braised Bratwurst with Caramelized Onions…
Thank you for reading my blog.

Sounds like a terrific method! I'm always looking for a good bbq sauce, will try the one you are recommending.
Hi Natasha, Sweet Baby Ray’s id my fav evryday bbq sauce, can’t get much better unless I make my own. It’s tangy sweet and sticks to the food as you cook it. I hope you like it.
You should try Gayle's Sweet N Sassy BBQ Sauces… they have 5 different varieties, Original (What they use on California Pizza Kitchen's BBQ Chicken Pizza) Extra Sassy, Honey Sweet, Apple Cider Smoke, & Chipotle! Mmmm!
Thanks Dani, I will definately have to try it.

Well, Stella is my favorite beer and Sweet Baby Ray's is my favorite sauce, so you've got my attention! Those ribs look finger lickin' good! Reminds me, I've got to start up my pulled pork in the slow cooker!
Thanks Georgia, if you try the recipe please let me know how it turns out. I will have o try your fried zuchini, sounds great.
love Sweet Baby Rays, I just discovered it this past summer…..that side of corn salad looks tasty too!
Thanks Moilly, glad you enjoyed it.
I love ribs. I gotta try this sauce!
Thanks Kathleen, I hope you enjoy it.
Gotta admit it, I'm a bit disappointed that you didn't just dust off that grill and brave the outdoors! But, this recipe looks mighty fine — and (of course) I approve of the fine use of beer!
Thanks Burp! for the compliment, maybe next time I'll be motivated to grill when the temp gets above 15 degrees…
Always looking for slap your belly kinda recipes.. and this one sounds fabulous! Now I know what to do with the leftover Guiness I had from making Beer Braised Bratwurst with Caramelized Onions from Saint Patricks day..
Thanks Laurie, please let me know what tyou think if you try the recipes. Yes, Guiness would work well with the brats and onions, maybe a little stone ground mustard on the side?
Thanks Laurie, I;m always lookoing for great stuffed mushroom recipes and yours look scrumptious. Have a great day and please let me know what you think if you try the recipes.
I'm loving your oven-roasted ribs! I bet their just delicious with the mix of beer and sauce. Thanks so much for your sweet comments, advice and for adding me to your favorites list. Much appreciated! I've done the same and am off to check out the beer website you told me about. Looking forward to more of your tasty recipes. – Reeni
