Slow-Cooked Tender Pork Ribs
Ingredients
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup fajita seasoning (such as Fiesta®)
  • 2 tablespoons Hungarian sweet paprika
  • 2 racks pork spareribs, fat trimmed
  • 1 cup beer
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon prepared brown mustard
Instructions
1
Gather all necessary ingredients and supplies beforehand.
2
Mix together the brown sugar, fajita seasoning, and paprika in a bowl to create a sweet and spicy blend.
3
Rub the brown sugar mixture all over the pork spareribs, making sure to coat them evenly on both sides.
4
Place the coated spareribs in a 9x13-inch baking pan and cover them with plastic wrap, refrigerating for at least 8 hours or overnight.
5
Preheat the oven to a low temperature of 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
6
Mix together the beer, garlic, honey, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard in a bowl to create a savory marinade.
7
Set the marinade aside for later use.
8
Take two large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil and lay them flat, shiny-side down. Place a rack of spare ribs on each sheet, with the meaty side facing up.
9
Take two more sheets of foil and place them on top of the spare ribs, shiny-side up. Begin folding the edges of the foil together tightly to create a sealed packet.
10
Just before sealing completely, divide the beer mixture evenly among each packet.
11
Complete the seal and place the packets side-by-side on an 11x14-inch baking sheet.
12
Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for a long period of time, 3 1/2 to 4 hours, or until they are very tender.
13
Carefully open each packet and pour the drippings into a saucepan. You may only need the drippings from one packet.
14
Place the ribs on a foil-lined baking sheet and set them aside.
15
Heat the saucepan over medium-high heat and simmer the drippings until the sauce begins to thicken, about 5 minutes.
16
Brush the thickened sauce all over the ribs.
17
Preheat the broiler and place the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Return the ribs to the oven and broil until the sauce is lightly caramelized, 5 to 7 minutes.
