CREAMY GRAVY-COVERED, BEER-BRAISED COUNTRY-STYLE PORK RIBS

Steps:

• Mix salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder in small bowl or Ziploc bag and then sprinkle liberally over ribs. Allow the seasoned ribs to sit for about 20 minutes at room temperature.
• Heat oil in large heavy-bottomed, oven-proof Dutch oven (love my enameled cast iron Dutch oven for this). Brown the ribs on all sides. Do NOT crowd them while browning, if it takes two batches, let it take two batches (otherwise they just steam and won't develop a nice sear).
• Once ribs have browned well, remove them to a plate.
• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• There should be ample rendered fat, but if there is more than about 4 tablespoons, remove the excess. Place all sliced onions in the bottom of the pan and allow them to start to take on just a bit of color.
• Pour in about 1/4 can of beer to deglaze the bottom of the pan while the onions continue to cook.
• Once the bottom of the pan is deglazed, return ribs to the pan (with any of juices on the plate). Pour in the rest of the beer. This should just barely cover all of the ribs and onions.
• Cover and bake at 375°F for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• When you remove the Dutch oven from the oven, be prepared for the onions to have cooked down into gooey lusciousness, and the sides of the pan to look like a disaster. Don't worry - it will taste great.
• Remove the ribs (which will be falling apart tender) and the onions from the pan.
• Turn oven down to 325°F.
• Use the water that you will be using to make the pork gravy mix with to "deglaze" the bottom on the pan, then add the mix according to the instructions on the packet. (I originally did try using canned gravy but it tasted "canned.") Once the gravy has thickened, mix in cream of mushroom soup, the dry onion soup mix and the mushrooms.
• Place ribs and onions back in the Dutch oven and stir so that the gravy is covering the ribs.
• Cover the Dutch oven again, and return to the oven heated to 325°F.
• Cook for about 1 hour.
• Serve with mashed potatoes, noodles or rice.

BRAISED COUNTRY-STYLE PORK RIBS WITH MUSTARD-BEER SAUCE RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Braise the ribs: Position an oven rack about 6 inches from the broiler element and heat the broiler on high. Arrange half of the ribs in a single layer in a broiler pan (without the top rack). Broil, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a platter and discard the fat in the pan. Put the pan over high heat. Add 1 bottle of the beer and bring to a boil, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spatula. Transfer the mixture to a large roasting pan. Repeat with the remaining ribs and beer. Clean the broiler pan. Reposition the rack to the center of the oven and lower the oven temperature to 350°F. Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, celery, and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens, about 5 minutes. Transfer to the roasting pan holding the beer mixture; stir in the broth, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes. Spread the vegetables in an even layer and arrange the ribs on top (it's OK if they're crowded). Cover the roasting pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil, crimping the edges to create a tight seal. Braise in the oven for 30 minutes. Turn the ribs, re-cover the pan, and braise until the ribs are tender when pierced with a small knife, 60 to 80 minutes more. Line the clean broiler pan with aluminum foil and transfer the ribs to the broiler pan. Tent loosely with more foil while you make the sauce. Make the sauce: Strain the braising liquid through a fine sieve into a medium saucepan; discard the solids. Let stand for 5 minutes; skim off and discard the fat on the surface. Bring to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat to maintain a steady simmer and cook, stirring often, until the liquid has reduced to 1-1/2 cups, about 20 minutes. Whisk in the brown sugar, mustard, and vinegar and raise the heat to return to a boil. Then lower the heat to maintain a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced to 1-1/2 cups, 10 to 15 minutes. Finish the ribs: Leaving the rack in the center of the oven, heat the broiler on high. Brush the tops of the ribs with about 1/2 cup of the sauce; broil until glazed and sizzling, 5 to 7 minutes. Flip the ribs, brush with another 1/2 cup of sauce, and broil until the other side is glazed and sizzling, 5 to 7 minutes more. Transfer to a serving platter, drizzle with the remaining sauce, and serve. Make Ahead Tips: You can braise the ribs and make the sauce up to 1-1/2 hours ahead and keep them at cool room temperature. Brush the ribs with sauce and finish them under the broiler just before serving.

ANCHO CHILE BRAISED COUNTRY STYLE PORK RIBS

Steps:

• In a medium sized pan dry pan, toast the coriander seeds over medium heat shaking the pan often to prevent burning for 2-3 minutes or until fragrant. Pour the toasted coriander seeds in a mortar and pestle or spice grinder and grind until you get a powder like consistency. In a pinch bowl mix together the toasted ground coriander with the rest of the spice mix ingredients.
• Carefully snip the ends of the chilies off with kitchen shears over a trash can and shake out and many of the seeds as you can. The more seeds the spicier it will be, and if you get most of the seeds out then it will not be spicy at all. With the same pan you toasted the coriander seeds, toast the chiles tossing the pan to prevent burning for about 2 minutes or until the chiles have slightly softened and become fragrant. Place the chiles in a heat proof bowl and heat the water until boiling. Pour the water over the chiles, cover the bowl with foil, and allow to sit and soak for 25 minutes.
• While the chiles are soaking place your red bell pepper over a gas stove so it's right above a burner and turn the heat to medium heat so that the flame is touching the bare pepper. This will blacken and char the skin, so you'll want to rotate it and char the whole thing, Once it's charred place the whole thing in a medium bowl and cover it with foil to rest for the remainder of the soaking time for the chiles.
• Once the chiles have soaked pour the soaking liquid along with the soaked chiles into a blender. Remove the red bell pepper and peel the blackened skin off and cut the core, stem and seeds out of it leaving just the flesh and place the roasted pepper flesh into the blender along with the spice mix and apple cider vinegar. Turn the blender on and puree starting at low and then gradually rising to a higher speed until completely smooth.
• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees and rinse and pat dry the ribs. Heat 2½ tablespoons of the ghee in a large dutch oven over medium high heat. Season the ribs with salt and pepper and brown them in batches to avoid over crowding the dutch oven; 2-3 minutes each side. As you finish browning each piece place them on a large dish tented with foil. Once your finished browning reduce the heat to low and pour out the ghee from the bottom of the dutch oven and dab lightly with a paper towel then place the pot back on the burner and add remaining tablespoon of ghee. Add onions and garlic and sauté for 3-4 minutes or until the onions begin to soften then add the tomato paste and stir. Let the tomato paste caramelize in the dutch oven for about 1 minute then pour in the diced tomatoes, ancho chile and roasted pepper puree, while scraping the bottom of the dutch oven. Season lightly with salt and pepper and stir then nestle the ribs in the braising liquid and pour in any accumulated juices from the bottom of the tray they were placed in.
• Bring to a simmer and reduce the heat to low, add the bay leaf and cover the dutch oven with it's lid and place it in the oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes. (I recommend checking the ribs at the 20 minute mark to see if they're simmering too hard or not, if they are then cover it back up and reduce the heat to 280)
• Once the ribs are done remove the lid from the dutch oven and flip the each of the ribs over with tongs being careful not to tear the meat. Spoon some of the sauce on the tops of the ribs and increase the heat of the oven to 375 and allow to cook for 15-20 more minutes or until the sauce caramelizes on top of the ribs. (optionally you could broil on high for 3-4 minutes instead which should achieve the same effect, but this is only if you don't have the extra time)
• Serve each rib with a second slathering of sauce if you wish.
