Rio Grande Ribs
For Christmas 2019 my Mom gave me a cookbook, specifically 'Cooking With Beer' recipe card set and that is where this recipe comes from. This sounds very good, on my to make and taste list. Link to the Shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Equipment
- Broiler
- Slow Cooker
Ingredients
- 2 kilos country style pork ribs, trimmed of visible fat, (4 lb)
- salt and black pepper, as desired
- 1 jar picante sauce, (16 oz / 453 g)
- ½ cup beer
- ¼ cup hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 2 cups French fried onions, Shortcut
Instructions
- Season ribs with salt and pepper as desired, place ribs on the rack in your broiler pan and broil the ribs, 6 inches from heat, for 10 minutes, turning once, or until well browned.
- Place ribs in your slow cooker.
- In a bowl, add picante sauce, beer, hot sauce, and chili powder, mix together.
- Pour mixture over the ribs. Cover and set the slow cooker to Low setting for 6 hours or High setting for 3 hours, or until are tender.
- Take ribs out of the slow cooker and place on a platter, cover with foil to keep warm.
- To the slow cooker, turn the setting to High and leave cover off. Add 1 cup of French fried onions, stir into the liquid and cook for 10-15 minutes or until slightly thickened.
- Spoon the sauce over the ribs and top with the remaining 1 cup of French fried onions.
- Serve with sides of your choice, enjoy.
Notes
High cost per serving based on cost of the picante sauce in Thailand. An alternative that I will test is using homemade salsa in place of the picante sauce.
Shortcut: French Fried Onions.
