Root Beer BBQ Pork Ribs

Root Beer BBQ Pork Ribs

Sounds good, and the ribs I would use are the short ribs found in any Tesco or even fresh markets but watch the cook time. I will verify this when I make them. This is a slow cooker recipe that will also need your broiler as well. Link to the shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 5 hours
Total Time 5 hours 10 minutes
Course Main Dish
Cuisine American
Servings 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 kilos pork ribs
  • 2 cans Root Beer, OR Ginger Ale aka Ginger Beer
  • 2 cups BBQ sauce, OR make from a shortcut
  • salt and pepper, as needed
  • spring onions, thinly sliced, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • These are the ribs I get at Tesco. Look for the strips that are meaty, remove the distorted bones on the ends and save for a soup if you wish, and just go with the nice straight bones. The bones are only about 3 inches long.
  • Remove silver skin from the back of the ribs if that is present. Cut the ribs into 3 bone sections, sprinkle generously with salt and pepper and place in the slow cooker.
  • Pour the root beer into the slow cooker, cover, and cook on Low setting for 5 hours, do not remove the cover.
  • Check the ribs at 5 hours, if very tender, you are almost done, if not tender, continue cooking and checking each hour. Once the ribs are tender, carefully remove from the pot and set on a foil lined baking sheet.
  • Brush the ribs with BBQ sauce and broil for a few minutes, charring a bit is ok, then flip the ribs over, brush more sauce, and broil for a few more minutes, again, a bit of char is ok. Remove to a serving tray, sprinkle some thinly sliced spring onion on, and serve.

Notes

Pork ribs are about 115 Baht/kilo. 1 1/2 kilo would be about 173 Baht. For 4 servings, this is about $1.27 per serving, over all good price for a quality meal, after all, who does not like ribs.
Shortcut: BBQ Sauce.

  1. Gave this one a crack today and simple and easy is an understatement the results got 2 thumbs up

    Had to swap the root beer for ginger beer as root beer not readily available locally , threw some herbs and spices in the sauce and they came out great , tender fall off the bone and so simple

    5 star’s Mr editor / chef outstanding

    • Thanks, Charlie. Great to hear the ginger ale worked just as well and I will update the recipe to reflect that.
