Ingredients

For the ribs
1 rack pork ribs
3 bottles of beer (whatever type you prefer)
3 bay leaves
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons black peppercorns
2 teaspoons black mustard seeds
2 teaspoons coriander seeds
2 teaspoons fennel seeds
2 handfuls fresh thyme
2 handfuls fresh rosemary
Water
For the barbecue sauce
2 cups beer
4 cups ketchup
1 cup vinegar-based hot sauce
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 cups light brown sugar
2 cups molasses
1 cup apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons cayenne
Salt

Directions

1

Place the ribs in a deep braising pot and add all the ingredients: beer, bay leaves, salt, black peppercorns, black mustard seeds, coriander seeds, fennel seeds, thyme, and rosemary. Add enough water to cover the ribs.
2

Bring the ribs to a boil on the stovetop, then turn the temperature down so that the liquid is at a low simmer. Cook over low heat for about 2 hours. After 2 hours, test the ribs for doneness by inserting a sharp knife into the meat; you'll know they're ready when the knife slides in with very little resistance.
3

Meanwhile, make the barbecue sauce by putting all the ingredients in a blender until they're thoroughly combined. Taste and add more salt or pepper if necessary.
4

Preheat the oven to 450° F and line a baking sheet with foil.
5

When the ribs are done, remove them from the braising liquid to the foil-lined baking sheet. Slather the ribs in the barbecue sauce and bake for 10 minutes, or until lacquered with sauce and tasty little burnt parts start to form.
6

Ribs can be cut individually or served whole for a more dramatic look. Sprinkle with sea salt (such as Maldon) for crunch and flavor.
