Bock & Browns Sugar Finishing Sauce:
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup bock beer
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Pour in the bock beer and stir to combine. Allow the mixture to come to a simmer and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in the brown sugar until dissolved, and continue to simmer the sauce for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.
- Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting as needed.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sauce cool slightly before using it as a finishing sauce for grilled or roasted meats.
Cooking the Ribs:
- Remove membrane from the back of the ribs. Use a butter knife to loosen the membrane at one end, then grip the membrane with a paper towel and pull it off in one smooth motion.
- Season the underside of the ribs (which will sit on the grates) with salt and pepper only. Avoid the use of seasonings such as sugar or paprika to avoid burning.
- Liberally season the top side of the ribs with your favorite barbecue rub. A typical rub consists of:
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
- Apply 2 tablespoons of Papa Jacks Steak and Chop Marinade to the top side of the ribs only, ensuring they are thoroughly coated.
- Preheat your grill or smoker to medium-high heat (300°F). If using charcoal, arrange the coals for indirect grilling, creating a two-zone fire. For gas grills, adjust the burners to achieve indirect heat.
- Place the marinated ribs on the grill, bone side down, away from direct heat. Close the lid and let them cook for ~30 minutes, and then baste the ribs (top side only) with one additional coat of Steak & Chop Marinade for an extra layer of flavor and tenderness.
- Close the lid and let the ribs continue to cook for an additional 2-3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 185°F and the ribs bend easily. Maintain a consistent temperature of around 300°F throughout the cooking process.
- Once the ribs are done, remove them from the grill and let them rest for ~30 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!
